Description:
This application reads IR or VIS channels in the native MSG format and dump them into a HDF file. It can also compute brightness temperatures for IR channels.

Description:
This application creates an image of a 2D HDF4 SDS. It supports different colormaps, min/max thresholding, scaling, fill value filtering…
Many output image formats are also supported.

Description:
This package contains some tools for manipulating HDF4 files :
– hdf2raw : write a HDF4 SDS to a binary file
– raw2hdf : write a 2D binary data to a HDF4 file
– ncf2hdf : convert a NETCDF file to an HDF one

Description:
The FIS format is a data format provided in particular by the SATMOS Archivage Center, at Lannion (MSG data at Lannion are archived this way). The program fis2raw converts the FIS format into a raw, headerless, binary file. The number of values and their type may be retrieved while performing the conversion.

Description:
xrit2raw is a simple tool designed above the libxrit library, in order to convert the XRIT format into a raw format, for people who don’t want to bother themselves with programming. The output will be a simple, headerless binary file, with 3712×3712 values of radiances for the low resolution channels, or with 11136×11136 values for the high resolution channel HRV (in native 16-bit integer, or scaled simple or double precision floating point values, depending on the options set by the user).
