The Satpy package is a python library for reading and manipulating meteorological remote sensing data and writing it to various image and data file formats. Satpy comes with the ability to make various RGB composites directly from satellite instrument channel data or higher level processing output. The pyresample <http://pyresample.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>_ package is used to resample data to different uniform areas or grids.

The documentation is available at http://satpy.readthedocs.org/.

Installation

Satpy can be installed from PyPI with pip:

.. code-block:: bash

pip install satpy

It is also available from conda-forge for conda installations:
