Introducing the pre-release version v0.1-rc1 of GOES-DL

GOES-DL is an open-source Python package that simplifies the process of
downloading satellite imagery datasets from various NOAA archives. The package
supports both second and third-generation GOES satellite data, as well as the
Gridded Satellite B1 (GridSat-B1) Climate Data Record. GOES-DL provides an
easy-to-use interface to access data for scientific analysis, research, and
other applications.

Key Features

  • Real-time GOES 3rd Generation Satellite Data (GOES Series R): Access
    real-time and archived data from NOAA's Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud
    archive.

  • Gridded Satellite Data from GOES 2nd Generation (GridSat-GOES): Download
    data from NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)
    archive.

  • Gridded Satellite Data from ISCCP B1 (GridSat-B1): Fetch historical
    climate data from both NOAA's AWS archive and the NCEI archive.

  • Seamless integration of different data sources into a unified download
    process.

  • High-level API that abstracts away the complexity of data access from NOAA
    archives.

Supported Datasets

  1. GOES 2nd Generation (GOES-8 to GOES-15): Also known as the I to P
    Series, these datasets provide environmental monitoring and meteorological
    data for the Western Hemisphere.

  2. GOES 3rd Generation (GOES-16 to GOES-18): Also known as the R to U
    Series, these satellites offer advanced imagery and atmospheric measurements
    with better spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution.

  3. GridSat-B1 Climate Data Record (Version 2): Gridded satellite imagery
    for climate research, containing global infrared window, visible, and water
    vapor data over long time periods.
