HARP does not support direct ingestion of MODIS data. But you can try to read the data using some other library in Python and then construct a [HARP Product + Variables in Python](http://stcorp.github.io/harp/doc/html/python.html#examples).  
You can then pass all products of a day to a `harp.execute_operations` invocation and have this perform a spatial bin and merge to produce a daily average.
