bounding box not working properly in earthaccess.search_data

[danbroman]

results = earthaccess.search_data(
    short_name = 'VJ110A1F',  # VIIRS JSPP1 cloud-free snow cover
    bounding_box = (-135.5,56.9,-135,57),
    temporal=('2020-10', '2021-09'))  # WY 2021

I'm using earthaccess to find and download VIIRS snow data (see the call above). This search returns the h10v03 graticule (VIIRS uses the MODIS tile grid) which is what I want. It also returns the h20v01 graticule which I don't want. I suspect it's because the second graticule crosses the antimeridian:

Minimum Longitude: -128.8568
Maximum Longitude: 95.6578
Minimum Latitude: 39.828
Maximum Latitude: 79.533

This graticule does not fall within my bounding box. Have others had this issue, and is there a workaround?

Interesting, I remember the antimeridian being a problem with some datasets. Let us take a look and see if a) the metadata is wrong, or b) the code should split queries that cross the anteimeridian into 2 bboxes. Thanks for reporting this @danbroman
