custom ancillary folder doesn't work for NASA satellites

Hi François,
I am processing MODIS, VIIRS and OLCI using NASA and ERA5 ancillary data.
I can't make polymer download and use the ancillary data from a custom ancillary folder that I define when I process NASA satellites. It works perfectly with ERA5 though...
I have installed polymer 4.14
Best,
Guillaume

Dear Guillaume,

To provide a custom directory to NASA ancillary data, you should pass the argument "directory" to the class Ancillary_NASA (Ancillary_NASA(directory=<custom dir>)). Do you confirm this is what you did ? If so, what is the error ?
Cheers,
François

Hi François,
Sorry I was at sea for a while.
I was indeed using the argument "directory" to the class Ancillary_NASA but it wasn't working. It was still downloading the ancillary data without crashing but it was creating the usual folder with the year number and Julian day. The error happened later I believe, when it was looking for the ancillary data in the folder I provided with the argument "directory" but was not finding it.
I don't have the error right now, I will have to get back to this project to be able to copy it.
I will try to get it to you next week.
Best,
Guillaume
