allows to derive satellite images from weather forecasts or from climate simulations
SynSatiPy is a Python interface to the RTTOV software that helps to input model data (e.g. from IFS or from ICON) and loads emissivity catalogues and sensor specific files.
Before SynsatiPy can be installed RTTOV must be downloaded, configured and installed on your target platform. See
- https://nwp-saf.eumetsat.int/site/software/rttov/ or
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTTOV_(radiative_transfer_code)
SynSatiPy can be installed via pip. It is recommended to install the SynSatiPy package into a separate python environment. Perhaps, the optimal way is to adjust this tutorial to your needs:
SynSatiPy can be imported inside python scripts or jupyter notebooks. Examples are provided in the folder Example Notebooks
Further documentation is provided here: https://synsatipy.readthedocs.io.
Please feel invited to contributed to the SynSatiPy python package (via pull requests). Possible extension are (not exclusive):
- implementation of further satellite sensor interfaces
- implementation of further model input interfaces
Please provide bug reports or ideas for extensions as issues!
