  • Discovering MTG-I1 data using the SIFT visualisation tool

    طي الكل توسيع الكل

    Webinar with Stephan Bojinski, Andrea Meraner and Erdem Erdi, EUMETSAT 

    31 May 2023, 12:00 UTC 


    In this event, EUMETSAT is demonstrating a multi-mission data visualisation tool SIFT which is suited for viewing and analysing data from MTG-I1 missions. SIFT is an open-source software released by EUMETSAT and University of Wisconsin, which utilizes the popular Satpy python-package for data reading. We also show an upgraded version of the web-based EUMETView tool. For the demonstration, we are using FCI data from the first acquisitions, as well as proxy datasets, and encourage active participation by the audience.

    *** UPDATE ***
    Just in time for the short course next week, we have published, in collaboration with SSEC, the first beta release of the new version of SIFT!

    In preparation for the course:
    You can download the latest version of the self-contained software for Linux, Windows and Darwin/Mac here: https://bin.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/sift/dist/experimental/ . 
    At the moment, SIFT v2 is only available in the experimental folder until it is fully released. 

    Please head to the project’s Github page for installation instructions and further information: https://github.com/ssec/sift
    Note that the beta release is not yet published on conda-forge. If you try out the software and find any issue, please report it as Issue on the Github page.

    We have also prepared some example/test data that you can download and use next week to follow the steps of the course:
