Cannot read AVHRR in AAPP format

[howff]

satpy 0.8.1 pyresample 1.7.1

Trying to load and resample AVHRR in AAPP format I get an image like the attached - the projection is wrong and there are vertical stripes (probably both the same cause).

Could you please provide the commands you are using to run this? Which satellite is this data from? @adybbroe Aren't there some AVHRRs that have degraded data quality?

Edit: Next time, please follow the github issue template as much as possible and when it makes sense. It exists specifically so I don't have to ask the above questions.

@davidh-ssec Yes, NOAA-15 in particular, but this manifests through drop out of scan lines. This I believe is something else

[howff]

global_scene = Scene(reader='aapp_l1b', filenames=['hrpt_noaa19_20180120_1524_46109.l1b'])
global_scene.load(['4'])
local_scene = global_scene.resample('euro4')
local_scene.save_dataset('4', filename='ch4.png')

@howff I can't reproduce your issue.
I did this:

import os
from satpy import Scene
from satpy.utils import debug_on
debug_on()

BASEDIR = "/home/a000680/data/pps/import/PPS_data/source/metop01_20170710_0830_24957"
FILES = os.path.join(BASEDIR, "hrpt_metop01_20170710_0830_24957.l1b")

if __name__ == '__main__':

    global_scene = Scene(reader='aapp_l1b', filenames=[FILES])
    global_scene.load(['4'])
    local_scene = global_scene.resample('euro4')
    local_scene.save_dataset('4', filename='ch4.png',
                             overlay={'coast_dir': '/home/a000680/data/shapes/'})

Using pyresample master branch (version 1.7.1)
Pyproj 1.9.5.1
Numpy 1.13.1
Satpy master 0.8.1
pykdtree 1.2.1

Could you check your versions of the above?

[howff]

I've got
pyproj - same
numpy - newer 1.14.0
satpy - same
pykdtree newer 1.2.2

Data is https://wetransfer.com/downloads/c7bf44ab69ef40f8283ca9ac96d5f14a20180202090725/bede6aa5aa5eb1e2637f2c73620d277520180202090725/f315fb

[adybbroe]

@howff Ok. Where do you get the pykdtree version from. The latest version is 1.2.1 I thought!?
Numpy 1.14.0 is buggy. There is a really annoying bug concerning the writing of npz files, which pyspectral use for the LUTs.

[howff]

Argh, I don't believe it, the image viewer has a bug displaying certain PNGs!!
Sorry for wasting time.
BTW, pykdtree 1.2.2 is from pypi.
Just before closing, is the bug in numpy 1.14.0 a deal-breaker?

@howff if you use the savez function, then yes it is, otherwise it should be fine I guess
