Subject: Troubles with environmental data connector and Ocean Colour

Hi there

I'm having a problem downloading Ocean Colour data using the Environmental Data Connector. I found a forum post and reply that relate to my same issue (pasted below). The reply states there is a patch available, but this was in relation to ArcGIS v 10 but I am using v 10.1. I know there are many patches available online but I am unsure of which one (if any) I should be using to solve my problem.

Could you please advise me as to how I can fix my problem? Could you please send me the link to the right patch, if this is the answer?

Kind regards, Daniella Hanf.

Hi Dee,

 

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It turns out that NASA just changed their query system in a way that broke MGET.

 

Attached is a patched file that fixes the problem. To install it:

 

1.    Close all ArcGIS programs.

2.    Assuming you have ArcGIS 10: save this file to the C:\Python26\ArcGIS10.0\Lib\site-packages\GeoEco\DataProducts\NASA directory, overwriting the file that is already there.

a.    For ArcGIS 9: save to C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\GeoEco\DataProducts\NASA instead

3.    Start ArcGIS and try again.

 

Please let me know if that works for you.

 

Best regards,

 

Jason

Hi there,

 

Firstly, great toolbox, I'm just a novice, but stands to be an invaluable aid for use in my thesis.

 

However, I am having some difficulty downloading SeaWiFS data, I'm hoping you might be able to help me out. When using the tool: 'Create Rasters for NASA OceanColor L3 SMI Product' I get the following error:

I have successfully been able to download AVHRR SST data, but when I try to download any ocean colour sensor data (Aqua, Terra, SeaWiFS) I get the above error. Is it simply having difficulty connecting to the OceanColor data archive? How can I work around this.

 

Thank you very much for your time.

 

Cheers
