4.4. AGRI FY-4B L1 Reader

The AGRI FY-4B L1 Reader operates on Level 1 (L1) HDF5 files for the Advanced Geostationary Radiation Imager (AGRI) instrument on board the Feng-Yun - 4B (FY-4B) satellite. Geo2Grid determines if it supports files based on the input filename. Files for AGRI supported by Geo2Grid usually have the following naming scheme:

FY4B-_AGRI--_N_DISK_1047E_L1-_FDI-_MULT_NOM_20220117000000_20220117001459_0500M_V0001.HDF

The AGRI L1 reader supports all instrument spectral bands, identified in Geo2Grid as the products shown in the table below. The AGRI L1 reader for FY-4B can be provided to the main geo2grid.sh script using the -r option and the reader name agri_fy4b_l1.

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 AGRI L1 reader, along with sharpening to the highest spatial resolution. For more information on the creation of RGBs, please see the RGB section.
