[Added, 14 December: geo2grid v 1.1 is now available at this link!] The true color animation toggle above, over Taiwan, shows True-Color imagery over Taiwan shortly after 0000 UTC on 8 December using FY4A and Himawari-9 data; readers for data from those satellites are included in version 1.1 of geo2grid. Data from Himawari-9 (HSD level 1b files) are... Read More
Previous blog posts have documented how to display imagery using geo2grid, and how to create new RGB products. (Note: geo2grid v1.1 is now available at this link) This blog post will detail the steps needed to create a brightness temperature difference field. For that to occur, information must be entered into these two files within the geo2grid file structure: $GEO2GRID_HOME/libexec/python_runtime/etc/polar2grid/enhancements/abi.yaml and $GEO2GRID_HOME/libexec/python_runtime/etc/polar2grid/composites/abi.yaml....

CSPP Quicklooks (click to view documentation) is a software package (available here) developed at CIMSS to (as the name might suggest!) create images from Polar-orbiting data, as shown in this blog post that shows imagery created from Direct Broadcast data (for example. using NUCAPS EDRs (Environmental Data Records) files as available at the...
