1.5.1.1.7.1.2. polar2grid.readers.abi_l1b module

The ABI Level 1B Reader operates on NOAA Level 1B (L1B) NetCDF files from the GOES-16 (GOES-East) and GOES-17/18 (GOES-West) Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) instrument. The ABI L1B reader works off of the input filenames to determine if a file is supported by Geo2Grid. Files usually have the following naming scheme:

OR_ABI-L1b-RadF-M6C02_G18_s20223191830206_e20223191839514_c20223191839547.nc

These are the mission compliant radiance file naming conventions used by the NOAA Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System (CLASS) archive and the CSPP GOES Rebroadcast (GRB) software. The ABI L1B reader supports all instrument spectral bands, identified in Geo2Grid as the products shown in the table below. The ABI L1B reader can be provided to the main geo2grid.sh script using the -r option and the reader name abi_l1b.

The list of supported products includes true and natural color imagery. These are created by means of a python based atmospheric Rayleigh scattering correction algorithm that is executed as part of the Geo2Grid ABI L1B reader, along with sharpening to the highest spatial resolution. For more information on the creation of RGBs, please see the RGB section.

class polar2grid.readers.abi_l1b.ReaderProxy(scn: Scene, user_products: list[str])

Bases: ReaderProxyBase

Provide Polar2Grid-specific information about this reader’s products.

get_all_products() → list[str]

Get all polar2grid products that could be loaded.

get_default_products() → list[str]

Get products to load if users hasn’t specified any others.

is_geo2grid_reader: bool = True

polar2grid.readers.abi_l1b.add_reader_argument_groups(parser: ArgumentParser, group: _ArgumentGroup | None = None) → tuple[_ArgumentGroup | None, _ArgumentGroup | None]

Add reader-specific command line arguments to an existing argument parser.

If group is provided then arguments are added to this group. If not, a new group is added to the parser and arguments added to this new group.
