satpy.readers.sar_c_safe module

SAFE SAR-C reader.

This module implements a reader for Sentinel 1 SAR-C GRD (level1) SAFE format as provided by ESA. The format is comprised of a directory containing multiple files, most notably two measurement files in geotiff and a few xml files for calibration, noise and metadata.

class satpy.readers.sar_c_safe.AzimuthNoiseReader(root, shape)[source]

Bases: object

Class to parse and read azimuth-noise data.

The azimuth noise vector is provided as a series of blocks, each comprised of a column of data to fill the block and a start and finish column number, and a start and finish line. For example, we can see here a (fake) azimuth noise array:

[[ 1.  1.  1. nan nan nan nan nan nan nan]
 [ 1.  1.  1. nan nan nan nan nan nan nan]
 [ 2.  2.  3.  3.  3.  4.  4.  4.  4. nan]
 [ 2.  2.  3.  3.  3.  4.  4.  4.  4. nan]
 [ 2.  2.  3.  3.  3.  4.  4.  4.  4. nan]
 [ 2.  2.  5.  5.  5.  5.  6.  6.  6.  6.]
 [ 2.  2.  5.  5.  5.  5.  6.  6.  6.  6.]
 [ 2.  2.  5.  5.  5.  5.  6.  6.  6.  6.]
 [ 2.  2.  7.  7.  7.  7.  7.  8.  8.  8.]
 [ 2.  2.  7.  7.  7.  7.  7.  8.  8.  8.]]

As is shown here, the blocks may not cover the full array, and hence it has to be gap-filled with NaNs.
