load_file
(file_path, variable_name, variable_unit=None, elevation_index=0, name='', lat_name=None, lon_name=None, time_name=None)¶ Load a NetCDF file into a Dataset.

subset_granule
(variable, dataset_id='', name='', path='/tmp', input_file_path='')¶ Subset Granule service allows users to Submit subset jobs. Use of this service should be preceded by a Granule Search in order to identify and generate a list of granules to be subsetted.
Parameters: - variable (
string
) – The name of the variable to read from the dataset. - dataset_id (
string

string
) – path to a json file which contains the the subset request that you want to send to PO.DAAC
Returns: a token on successful request reception. This can be further used to check the status of the request.
