Description

Satellite platform names and abbreviations used in Oceancolor URLs and file names Oceancolor data file URLs need to be mapped to a file system hierarchy that mirrors the one used on the Oceancolor web site. For example, https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/l3/V2016044.L3m_DAY_NPP_PAR_par_9km.nc or https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/getfile/V2016044.L3m_DAY_NPP_PAR_par_9km.nc (obtained from the OceanColor visual browser or file search facility) map to https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/VIIRS/Mapped/Daily/9km/par/2016/V2016044.L3m_DAY_NPP_PAR_par_9km.nc (in the Oceancolor file browse interface). RAADSync will store the local copy of this file as oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/VIIRS/Mapped/Daily/9km/par/2016/V2016044.L3m_DAY_NPP_PAR_par_9km.nc The oceandata_platform_map function maps the URL platform component ("V" in this example) to the corresponding directory name ("VIIRS")
