libHimawari

This is a C++ library with C, Fortran9X, and Python interfaces, capable of reading Himawari HSD format data. It provides a scene-level API for reading single-file or sectioned scenes. Himawari full-disk (FLDK) scenes typically are distributed as 10 contiguous section files.

A sample application script, hsd2nc.py, generates PUG-like scene NetCDF files which can include radiances or albedo/brightness-temperatures, and optionally can include calculated per-pixel latitudes and longitudes.

Feature branch work to transparently support HimawariCast HRIT to the degree that it is compatible will be released during 2015.
