Hello everyone!
I want to obtain MODIS PDS files (MODIS level0), and found them in the following website:http://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/, which provide many files. Take MODIS TERRA PDS files for example, the files are oreder by 5mins, and I want to use PDS files which cover eastern part of China(See MODIS Rapid reponse system website:[url=]http://lance-modis.eosdis.nasa.gov/imagery/subsets/?subset=FAS_China4 [/url]) or a region of Taihu lake(one of AERONET sites, see hyper linke:(http://lance-modis.eosdis.nasa.gov/imagery/subsets/?project=aeronet&subset=Taihu). When MODIS TERRA pass that region at about 10:30 PM, and Aqua 14:30AM. It is difficult for me to download the very files. Can someone who knows help me?

Best regards!

Our data are not available via FTP, except for data orders (we will eventually eliminate FTP distribution for these as well).

To identify retrospective files for a given region, use the L1/L2 browser - MODIS L0 are included, however unless you intend
to stitch adjacent granules together, you can use the L1A data.

You can also create a data subscription to have forward stream data for your region of interest staged for you.
