error running 02_read_and_plot_smap_data.ipynb

[victoriaeh]

In the notebooks/SMAP/folder while running in conda and after successfully running 01_download_smap_data.ipynb

In the code cell:

sm_data_3d = np.empty([sm_data.shape[0],sm_data.shape[1],len(flist)])
times = []
print('sm_data_3d has dimensions '+str(sm_data_3d.shape))
i=0
for fName in flist:
    sm_data_3d[:,:,i],time_i = read_SML3P(fName)
    times.append(time_i)
    i+=1

This error is returned:

Hi @victoriaeh Thank you for reporting this error. I was not able to reproduce your error however, after also running the full 01_download_smap_data.ipynb notebook without any alterations. Can you confirm which granule you are working with? In the first code block below the library imports, under the Read SMAP data and navigate metadata heading, you will see the printed output of the first granule found in the list of downloads. I see SMAP_L3_SM_P_20170316_R18290_001.h5.

Hi @asteiker, thank you for looking into it. I actually solved the error earlier, but forgot to update this. It was something I was doing on my end unrelated to the tutorial code.
