[ncl-talk] AOD from MOD08_D3

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Zoe,
You can use getfilevarnames to see a list of variables on the file:
 a = addfile("MOD08_D3.A2018148.061.2018149091056.hdf","r")
print(getfilevarnames(a))

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/getfilevarnames.shtml

I do not see Deep_Blue_Aerosol_Optical_Depth_Mean on this file. I do
see Deep_Blue_Aerosol_Optical_Depth_Land_Mean though.
