plotting in magnetic coordinates
pysat can provide data download capabilities

Triaging these:

Data filtering/interpolation: This is something that works in very well with the desire to have common gridding routines in the future. This is important, but it's also going to be a MAJOR effort to implement.
Plotting in magnetic coordinates: There was a lot of interest in this. With the new DataSet architecture, it shouldn't be too hard to implement. Proposed strategy:

User initializes DataSet object.
DataSet object automatically converts whatever input coordinates are to geodetic lat/lon/alt.
When user calls Visualize, there is a flag set for plotting in magnetic.
Before any plotting, each DataSet object is converted to magnetic coordinates.
Plot magnetic coordinates. Probably won't be able to show continents and whatnot in magnetic coordinates, but that's ok.

Pysat: This package looks like it'll be a good solution to accessing satellite data. In the future, it's supposed to also have functionality to access ground-based data, but it sounds like they'll just be pulling this from madrigal, so it will probably have a lot of the same data format issues. Currently, having issues with the installation of the pysat CDF4 library. This needs more investigation.
