  Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) Polar2grid Reprojection Software Version 1.1 Release

17 October 2013

Update to the CSPP software release that enables Suomi NPP users to create:
  • High Resolution VIIRS GeoTIFF files for all SDR bands, including the Day/Night Band, and
  • Gridded VIIRS NetCDF-3 files for a selection of SDR bands suitable for display in the Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS I and II), the US National Weather Service (NWS) Visualization and Analysis Tool.
What's new in version 1.1:
  • VIIRS 24 bit True Color GeoTIFFs can now be created,
  • Users can now define their own GeoTIFF grid domains,
  • MODIS Level 1B GeoTIFF file creation is now supported.
The software uses standard CSPP or IDPS Science Data Records (SDRs) as input, and allows the user a selection of projections or grids to use for the remapping. The default GeoTIFF projection is the WGS 84/Plate Carrée coordinate system. The execution takes place using simple bash shell scripts, with the user specifying a directory containing the SDR files, or the files themselves. If more than one contiguous granule is provided, it will create an aggregated image or grid.

Software, execution scripts and documentation are included with the release.

This version of the software is being co-released as part of the International MODIS/AIRS Processing Package (IMAPP).
