Hi,
I am stuck in a bit of a pickle. I hope you will be able to help me figure this out.

I am trying to download the sst .nc files for all days of the year, for the years 2003 to present from the MUR-JPL-L4-GLOB-v4.1 dataset

I have been attempting to download this using the subset_dataset.py code, as described in this forum post--> Using Python to subset large gridded datasets (v2) available here https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/forum/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=219

i run this file using the command

Code: Select all

python subset_dataset.py -s 20030101 -f 20210501 -b -140 -110 20 30 -x MUR-JPL-L4-GLOB-v4.1

it runs, it searches for granules, defines the grid dimension and then it asks me

OK to download? [yes or no]:

I respond with yes

And this is where it stops working. it says.

The script will need curl or wget on the system, please install them first before running the script !
Program will exit now !

The thing is I have curl (and I've tried with wget) on my python environment.

AND I know that curl is working. I know this because the drive_download.py described in this forum Multiple File Download from PO.DAAC Drive Using Python works. To run this script I use the command

Code: Select all

python drive_download.py -u USERNAME:PASSWORD -t curl -s 20030101 -f 20210501 -x MUR25-JPL-L4-GLOB-v04.2

..... unfortunately, using this is not an option for me as it downloads the entire data set for all-day for all years, which my internet will not download in a reasonable time frame.

What am I missing? What do I need to run the subset_dataset.py.. where do I insert my earth data login details, do I somehow merge both codes? OR can I define lat and lon in the drive_download.py

Alternatively, is there some other way I can download all these files in batch?

A super big thank you for helping me solve this....

Kind regards.

Hi,
Thanks for your inquiry and support.
In order to make your code to work, please insert the following line after line #545:

cmd='curl -g "'+cmd+'" -o '+ ncout


Hope this works for you and please let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
