SWOT Raster files with wrong Spatial Extents
I'm using earthaccess to search for raster tiles around an AOI in the Amazon Basin, however, it is returning Granules located in Russia.
With further investigation, I noticed the spatial extents are incorrectly set to -180, -90, 180, 90 (example below), causing these wrong tiles to be retrieved.
{'TemporalExtent': {'RangeDateTime': {'EndingDateTime': '2025-05-02T22:25:31.272Z',
'BeginningDateTime': '2025-05-02T22:25:10.139Z'}},
'GranuleUR': 'SWOT_L2_HR_Raster_100m_UTM01W_N_x_x_x_032_138_018F_20250502T222510_20250502T222531_PIC2_01',
'AdditionalAttributes': [{'Values': ['034L',
'035L',
'036L',
'037L',
'034R',
'035R',
'036R',
'037R'],
'Name': 'TILE'}],
'MeasuredParameters': [{'QAStats': {'QAPercentMissingData': 0,
'QAPercentOutOfBoundsData': 0},

'SpatialExtent': {'HorizontalSpatialDomain': {'Geometry': {'BoundingRectangles': [{'WestBoundingCoordinate': -180,
'SouthBoundingCoordinate': -90,
'EastBoundingCoordinate': 180,
'NorthBoundingCoordinate': 90}]},
If we look at these specific tiles (Pass 138 - 034, 035, 036, etc... ), we can notice the discrepancy:
