-1.  Search NASA Earthdata and find the S3 link you want to access 
-
-2.  Set AWS Environment Variables - Go to the link above for the Access key, secret access key and token.
-
-3.  Copy and past those variables into the code below
-
-    `setenv('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID', 'REPLACE WITH PODAAC ACCESS KEY');`
-
-    `setenv('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY', 'REPLACE WITH PODAAC SECRET KEY');`
-
-    `setenv('AWS_SESSION_TOKEN',  'REPLACE WITH PODAAC SESSION TOKEN');`
-
-    `setenv('AWS_DEFAULT_REGION', 'us-west-2');`

-    NOTE: These expire ever 30 mins or so and this step needs to be done. We are searching for a better method.
