1.5.1.1.7.1.8. polar2grid.readers.ahi_hsd module

The AHI HSD Reader operates on standard files from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) Himawari-8 and Himawari-9 Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) instrument. The AHI Himawari Standard Data (HSD) reader works off of the input filenames to determine if a file is supported by Geo2Grid. Files usually have the following naming scheme:

HS_H08_20181022_0300_B09_FLDK_R20_S1010.DAT

These are the mission compliant radiance file naming conventions used by JMA. The AHI HSD reader supports all instrument spectral bands, identified in Geo2Grid as the products shown in the table below. The AHI HSD reader can be provided to the main geo2grid.sh script using the -r option and the reader name ahi_hsd.

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 AHI HSD reader, along with sharpening to the highest spatial resolution. For more information on the creation of RGBs, please see the RGB section.

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.ahi_hsd.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.
