Polar2Grid allows users to create true-color imagery from VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) data from Suomi-NPP or NOAA-20. This tutorial will take you through the needed steps. Step one is to decide when you want the data; the ways to determine when a Polar Orbiter overflies a particular point... Read More
Polar2Grid is Python-based software created at CIMSS/SSEC to process data from Polar Orbiting satellites into useful imagery (or into files that can be imported directly into the National Weather Service Advanced Weather Information Processing System (AWIPS) for display). (You can download it for a linux machine at this site.) This tutorial... Read More
Geo2grid is a python-based software package that creates GeoTIFF imagery from native Himawari or GOES-16/GOES-17 imagery, as noted here. This blog post documents how to use the geo2grid software to create stereoscopic imagery, using either a Himawari-8/GOES-17 pairing, or a GOES-16/GOES-17 pairing. This requires first a remapping of the imagery to a fixed domain; when... Read More
SSEC and CIMSS have released a processing package that converts GOES-R Level-1b Radiance files to full-resolution imagery. Geo2Grid is part of the CSPP-Geo package and offers a flexible scriptable method to convert data into imagery. It can be downloaded at this site (Free registration may be required). Documentation is available at... Read More
