Andrew,
Thanks for your interest. You are correct; we have not yet written any tools
for Aquarius. It would not be too hard to write a tool that would work with
the Aquarius L3 salinity datasets. If we were to write such a tool, it would
pull the data from NASA PO.DAAC, i.e. from these:
http://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/datasetlist?ids=Measurement:ProcessingLevel&values=Salinity%2FDensity:*3*&search=aquarius%20%252Bproject&view=list
Is would that work. I'm pretty busy at the moment but may have some time
coming up. Let me know more specifically what you're interested in and
whether it would help and we can talk more.
As an alternative, MGET does include tools for HYCOM's GLBa0.08 dataset,
which includes salinity. It is from an assimilating model, rather than from
satellite directly. I don't know if they are assimilating Aquarius. On the
plus side, it would have about 9 km resolution, vs 1 degree for Aquarius. On
the minus side, there are some constraints about where it is available;
currently the MGET tool cannot provide values north of 60 N, if I recall
correctly.
Hope that helps,
Jason

Hi MGET team,
I've been using your MGET tools to assign some satellite environmental covs
for modeling. It's a great tool. Thanks for continuing to improve it. I
didn't find an interpolate to points data product for satellite derived
salinity. Particularly I'm looking to get data L3 daily data from the
Aquarius mission (http://aquarius.umaine.edu/cgi/data.htm). Is this something
that could be added? I hope I didn't miss it in the tool, I downloaded the
latest (0.8a56) to make sure. Thanks again.
Cheers, Andrew
