SSMIS tools: Useful Python software for reading SSMI binary files

Language/Sofware: Numpy, Python
Application type(s): Data Conversion, Data Read/Write
Related project(s):
Description:
This tool is a reading Python software for SSMI binary files consisting in some headers followed by records with the same pattern (Headers and record patterns are described in text files: ./conf/).
Datasets are returned as Numpy arrays and write in HDF4 file.

Language/Sofware: C++
Application type(s): Data Read/Write
Related project(s): CALIPSO, MODIS, PARASOL
Description:

Parasolascii : A simple parser for the POLDER/PARASOL format

Language/Sofware: C
Application type(s): Data Conversion
Related project(s): PARASOL, POLDER
Description:
Displays the data from the PARASOL ( and POLDER ) binary files in plain text. You specify the data you want to be displayed, in the order you wish, and they will be extracted into columns (separated by tabulations) in this very order. You are then free to redirect the data into the tool of your choice (a plotter, a data filter, or an hand-made program). Of course, calls to parasolascii are scriptable
