Add ability to load externally generated satellite data files #89

Closed simonrp84 closed 5 months ago

simonrp84 commented 1 year ago

In preparation for MTG/FCI, this PR adds the ability to load satellite data (channels + angles + geolocation + ancillary attributes) from a single netCDF4 file.

In the driver file, instead of specifying a sensor name on the first line, specify PYTHON. I have only tested this with SEVIRI and FCI, but it should work more widely. Unsure if dual view will work, however.

Python scripts to generate these netCDF4 input files is available in a separate repo. I'll link to it once I have finalised and tested it.

Any further comments on this? If not, will merge tomorrow (27th).

Also, I want to upload the python code associated with making the external files but I don't think that should go in this repo. Rather my preference would be to create a separate repo in orac-cc for this. Anyone know how I do that?

Don has the password for the orac-cc account. I assume you want a separate repo because you're hoping people will use the code for purposes other than ORAC?

simonrp84 commented 6 months ago

No, I don't expect anyone else to use it. Just want it in a separate repo as the main ORAC repo is already over-cluttered with different tools and sections.
