Using ADAM-API to access MODIS Aqua CHL#

  • you need to get an account to https://reliance.adamplatform.eu/ (use ORCID to authenticate) and key your ADAM API key

  • make sure you save your ADAM API key in a file $HOME/adam-key

!pip install adamapi

Authenticate to ADAM platform with ADAM API key#

Discover MOD_Aqua datasets#

  • This step is useful to get the dataset identifier (unique for a given datacube)

def discoverDasasets(a, search_name):
    datasets = adam.Datasets(a)
    catalogue = datasets.getDatasets()
    #Extracting the size of the catalogue
    total = catalogue['properties']['totalResults']
    items = catalogue['properties']['itemsPerPage']
    pages = total//items
    
    print('----------------------------------------------------------------------')
    print('\033[1m' + 'List of available datasets:')
    print ('\033[0m')

    #Extracting the list of datasets across the whole catalogue
    for i in range(0,pages):
        page = datasets.getDatasets(page = i)
        for element in page['content']: 
            if search_name in element['title'] :
                print(element['title'] + "\033[1m" + " --> datasetId "+ "\033[0m" + "= " + element['datasetId'])
    return datasets
datasets = discoverDasasets(a, 'MOD_Aqua')
----------------------------------------------------------------------
List of available datasets:

Get metadata from Modis Aqua Chlorophylle Concentration#

datasetID = '69618:MODh20chlMO_4km'

print('\033[1;34m' + 'Metadata of ' + datasetID + ':')
print ('\033[0;0m')

paged = datasets.getDatasets(datasetID)
for i in paged.items():
    print("\033[1m" +  str(i[0]) + "\033[0m" + ': ' + str(i[1]))

Discover and select products from a dataset#

  • for a given time range and spatial coverage

Get data over Artic region#

  • The geometry field is extracted from a GeoJSON object , retrieving the value of the ā€œfeatureā€ element.

Search data#

  • only print the first 10 products

from adamapi import Search

The GeoJson object needs to be rearranged according to the counterclockwise winding order.This operation is executed in the next few lines to obtain a geometry that meets the requirements of the method. Geom_1 is the final result to be used in the discovery operation.

geom_1 = "{'type': 'Polygon', 'coordinates': [[[-180, 90], [180, 90], [180, 60], [-180, 60], [-180, 90]]]}"
start_date = '2003-01-01'
end_date = '2003-12-31'
search = Search( a )
results = search.getProducts(
    datasetID, 
    geometry= geom_1,
    startDate = start_date,
    endDate = end_date
 )

# Printing the results

print('\033[1m' + 'List of available products:')
print ('\033[0m')
count = 1
for i in results['content']:

        print("\033[1;31;1m" + "#" + str(count))
        print ('\033[0m')
        for k in i.items():
            print(str(k[0]) + ': ' + str(k[1]))
        count = count+1
        print('------------------------------------')

Get data#

  • be aware that you alwasy get daily average from ADAM-API

def getZipData(auth, dataset_info):
    if not (pathlib.Path(pathlib.Path(dataset_info['outputFname']).stem).exists() or pathlib.Path(dataset_info['outputFname']).exists()):
        data = adam.GetData(auth)

        datasetId = dataset_info['datasetID'],
        startDate = dataset_info['startDate'],
        endDate = dataset_info['endDate'],
        geometry = dataset_info['geometry'],
        outputFname = dataset_info['outputFname'])
        print(image)
%%time

output_file = './MOD_Aqua_mass_concentration_chlorophyll_concentration_in_sea_water_' + start_date + '-' + end_date + '.zip'

datasetInfo = {
    'datasetID'   : datasetID,
    'startDate'   : start_date,
    'endDate'     : end_date,
    'geometry'    : geom_1,

Data analysis and Visualization#

Unzip data#
