Hi Sander,
Thanks for your help earlier. When I went to map November’s SO2 monthly average initially everythign was fine. The daily average files mapped correctly but i did notice that around 20 of the 30 daily average files were 77.8 mb files while the remaining 10 were 51.9 mb files. Turns out when I went to average the daily averages to create a monthly average I wasn’t able to do so. I could do a 20 day average for all the 77.8 mb files or a 10 day average fore the 51.9 mb files. I thought this was odd so I analyzed a 51.9 mb file and 77.8 mb file in panoply. Turns out the 77.8 mb files had the column number density weight variable in addition to column number density. I don’t understand why this would occur given I run the same code to create the daily averages and the monthly average and I also exclude so2 column number density in the code for daily average:
SO2 Daily average CODE: .product = harp.import_product(r"/Users/jpoetzscher/Downloads/NOV 30 SO2/*.nc", operations='SO2_column_number_density_validity>50;keep(latitude_bounds,longitude_bounds,SO2_column_number_density);bin_spatial(1801,-90,0.1,3601,-180,0.1);derive(SO2_column_number_density [DU]);exclude(SO2_column_number_density_weight)', post_operations="bin();squash(time, (latitude_bounds,longitude_bounds));derive(latitude {latitude});derive(longitude {longitude});exclude(latitude_bounds,longitude_bounds,latitude_bounds_weight,longitude_bounds_weight,count,weight)")
Monthly average
average = harp.import_product("/Users/jpoetzscher/Downloads/November SO2/*.nc", post_operations=“bin();squash(time, (latitude,longitude))”)
