Remarks

The NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) publishes collections of sea surface temperature (SST) images gathered by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) carried by the Terra and Aqua satellites. This tool accesses the PO.DAAC SST datasets that begin with the following names:

MODIS Terra Level 3 Thermal IR
MODIS Terra Level 3 Mid-IR
MODIS Aqua Level 3 Thermal IR
MODIS Aqua Level 3 Mid-IR

PO.DAAC presents each collection as a time series of 2D HDF files that may be accessed through a variety of protocols, including OPeNDAP. Given a satellite name, temporal resolution, spatial resolution, and desired geophysical parameter, this class efficiently accesses the specified time series of images using OPeNDAP, representing them as a single 3D grid with dimensions x, y, and time.
