Scripting access to GlobWave L2P data

The following script is intended to retrieve the list and urls of the data files of a given GlobWave product matching a user defined area and time period of interest.

The getgranulelist script

This script is written in python language and uses standard packages. It has been tested with python2.6 and python2.7, slight changes may be necessary for a different version. The main task of the script is to build the URL of the query to the webservice offering this operation and then calling this URL, so it can be very easily adapted to any of your favorite language. An example of such a call is given below.In case of any issue, feel free to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

The --url option will display the corresponding file FTP link in addition to the file name.

getgranulelist --product=GW_L2P_ALT_ERS1_GDR --date=1994-02-01T00:00:00,1994-02-02T00:00:00 --bbox=-60.,60.,-100.,0. --url

The script will return the following result :

Adapting the script

As shown on above example, the script actually just build and call the URL to a webservice then parse and display the result to user's console. It is then quite easy to perform the same task in any other language provided you just build correctly the URL which is quite straightforward to understand. In above example, the corresponding URL is displayed on console :
