Hi Linda,

 

You could try and update the URL, this may be the correct updated location:

  https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search

 

If there isn’t any immediate way to do that through the UI, you can try and modify the underlying Python script that is being executed, OceanColor.py:

 

https://code.env.duke.edu/projects/mget/browser/MGET/Branches/Jason/PythonPackage/src/GeoEco/DataProducts/NASA/OceanColor.py

 

That should be located within the installation of MGET. You may want to create a backup copy in case anything goes wrong modifying the file, but it should be easy enough to change the URL. It’s on line 315, which currently reads:

 

    url = "'https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/search/file_search.cgi'

 

Cheers,
Shaun

Subject: [mget-help] help with interpolation of satellite rasters at points (or downloading the rasters themselves)

 

Dear MGET-help/  Jason Roberts:

 

I am having a problem with accessing some L3 products, either interpolated at a few points for specific dates (preferable) or as rasters. I was trying to access this information in a hurry to fix a problem with a paper and avoid having to withdraw it and go through the review process all over again, so any quick help you can provide would be very welcome, even if it's to suggest an alternate method. I keep encountering the following error no matter what L3 product / satellite / time frame I choose:

 

Running script OceanColorLevel3SMITimeSeriesInterpolateAtArcGISPoints...

Failed to query the NASA OceanColor server at http://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/search/file_search.cgi. The HTTP request failed with error: [Errno 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. Retrying..

It then retries and ultimately fails, making me think that perhaps the web address for the data has changed.

 

Thanks for any guidance.

 

Sincerely,

Dr. Linda Waters
