Working with ABI Files ---------------------- This example walks through the creation of GOES ABI GeoTIFF subset image files and adding overlays. The Basics of Geo2Grid for ABI GeoTIFF File Creation **************************************************** Find the options available when creating GOES-16, -17 and -18 GeoTIFFs: ``geo2grid.sh -r abi_l1b -w geotiff -h`` List the products that can be created from your ABI dataset: ``geo2grid.sh -r abi_l1b -w geotiff --list-products -f `` To create GeoTIFF output files of all bands found in your data set, including true and natural color full resolution sharpened 24 bit RGBs in standard satellite projection using 8 worker threads: ``geo2grid.sh -r abi_l1b -w geotiff --num-workers 8 -f `` Create a subset of ABI band output Geotiff image files for Channels 1, 2, 3 and 5: ``geo2grid.sh -r abi_l1b -w geotiff -p C01 C02 C03 C05 true_color -f `` Create ABI images over the given latitude/longitude region: ``geo2grid.sh -r abi_l1b -w geotiff --ll-bbox -f `` Create a natural color full resolution GeoTIFF from GOES-18 ABI observations acquired on 15 November 2022, 18:30 UTC over a latitude/ longitude bounding box of 128W,30N to -118W,40N . This command assumes that all bands required to create the false color image are available: .. code-block:: bash geo2grid.sh -r abi_l1b -w geotiff -p natural_color --ll-bbox -128 30 -118 40 -f OR_ABI-L1b-RadF-M6C*_G18_s20223191830*.nc The resulting image is displayed below. .. raw:: latex \newpage .. figure:: ../_static/example_images/GOES-18_ABI_RadF_natural_color_20221115_183020_GOES-West_cutout.png :width: 100% :align: center ABI Natural color subset GeoTIFF image (GOES-18_ABI_RadF_natural_color_20221115_183020_GOES-West.tif) .. raw:: latex \newpage Add coastlines, borders and latitude/longitude grid lines to the image, and write the output to the file "my_goes18_abi_naturalcolor.png": .. code-block:: bash add_coastlines.sh --add-coastlines --add-borders --borders-resolution=h --borders-outline='red' --add-grid GOES-18_ABI_RadF_natural_color_20221115_183020_GOES-West.tif -o my_goes18_abi_naturalcolor.png .. figure:: ../_static/example_images/my_goes18_abi_naturalcolor.png :width: 100% :align: center GOES-18 natural color image with overlays (my_goes18_abi_naturalcolor.png). Convert the natural color GeoTIFF file into a Google Earth compatible Keyhole Markup language Zipped (KMZ) file. .. code-block:: bash gtiff2kmz.sh GOES-18_ABI_RadF_natural_color_20221115_183020_GOES-West.tif which creates the `GOES-18_ABI_RadF_natural_color_20221115_183020_GOES-West.kmz` file which can then be displayed easily in the Google Earth GeoBrowser.
