OceanColor 0.0.11

Quickstart - terminal

Let’s install it

$ pip install OceanColor

or

$ conda install OceanColor

Let’s get the L2 chlorophyll measurements from MODIS-Aqua nearby Scripps’ Pier. On the terminal, let’s run:

$ OceanColor InRange \
  --username=<earthdata-username> \
  --password=<earthdata-password> \
  --data-type=L2 \
  --time-tolerance=12 \
  --distance-tolerance=15e3 \

Using it inside Python is more flexible than in the terminal. Check the manual on how to use it.
