HDF Errors with ancillary data

[jamesrunnalls]

Acolite is crashing when trying to read ancillary files such as MET/2022/141/N202214100_O3_AURAOMI_24h.hdf with the following error.

pyhdf.error.HDF4Error: SD (15): File is supported, must be either hdf, cdf, netcdf

This is not specific to Acolite I am also having this issue with Polymer, but I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or has found a solution?

Hi James

Indeed it seems like the ancillary data used in ACOLITE (NCEPR2 and AURAOMI) are no longer available from the oceandata server. I will have to investigate a change of file type or data source. For the moment please use ancillary_data=False

Hi James

I have adapted the ancillary data process to use GMAO MERRA2 or FP data. Please update your ACOLITE distribution and give it a try!

For processing imagery older than about six weeks, use the (new default) setting:

Code: Select all

ancillary_type=GMAO_MERRA2_MET

and for NRT data you can use:

Code: Select all

ancillary_type=GMAO_FP_MET

I hope this helps!

Dear Quinten,

My error same as the title"HDF errors with ancillary data"
I just used the ACOLITE20221114, but i can not find which script contain "ancillary_type=GMAO_MERRA2_MET", I check /ancillary get.py, there are nothing about ancillary types. Could you provide a new one?

Best, Binbin

Hi Binbin

The new code is not present in older versions... You must use a current git clone to be able to use the new ancillary format.

I may work on a new binary release in the coming weeks.
