Pytroll

Pytroll is a free and open-source Python framework that simplifies the processing of Earth Observation (EO) satellite data. This robust and modular system is designed to be highly versatile, supporting both in-depth R&D activities and continuous operational production environments. While its primary focus is on atmospheric applications and imaging sensors, the framework can handle data from a diverse array of satellites, making it applicable across various Earth science disciplines.

The project offers several high-level packages, including Satpy, Pyresample, Pyspectral, and Pyorbital, each contributing to different aspects of data handling and analysis. Users can explore a comprehensive list of Pytroll packages and their interdependencies, maturity, and operational usage on GitHub and through a dedicated overview description. Additionally, a non-exhaustive list of supported satellites and data formats is available via the Satpy documentation.

For those looking to get started or explore its capabilities, Pytroll provides a gallery of examples and Jupyter Notebook tutorials. The community is active, offering support through a dedicated Slack channel and a Google Groups mailing list. Pytroll also hosts user days, such as the upcoming event in Darmstadt, Germany, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing among its users.
