- class satpy.readers.mcd12q1.MCD12Q1HDFFileHandler(filename, filename_info, filetype_info, **kwargs)[source]
Bases:
HDFEOSBaseFileReader
File handler for MCD12Q1 HDF-EOS 500m granules.
Initialize the base reader.
- available_datasets(configured_datasets=None)[source]
Automatically determine datasets provided by this file.
- get_area_def(dsid)[source]
Get the area definition.
This is fixed, but not defined in the file. So we must generate it ourselves with some assumptions.
The proj_param string comes from https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/documents/101/MCD12_User_Guide_V6.pdf
