satin - Visualisation and Analysis of Ocean Data Derived from Satellites
With 'satin' functions, visualisation, data extraction and
further analysis like producing climatologies from several
images, and anomalies of satellite derived ocean data can be
easily done. Reading functions can import a user defined
geographical extent of data stored in netCDF files. Currently
supported ocean data sources include NASA's Oceancolor web page
<https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/>, sensors VIIRS-SNPP;
MODIS-Terra; MODIS-Aqua; and SeaWiFS. Available variables from
this source includes chlorophyll concentration, sea surface
temperature (SST), and several others. Data sources specific
for SST that can be imported too includes Pathfinder AVHRR
<https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/avhrr-pathfinder-sst> and
GHRSST <https://www.ghrsst.org/>. In addition, ocean
productivity data produced by Oregon State University
<http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/ocean.productivity/> can
also be handled previous conversion from HDF4 to HDF5 format.
Many other ocean variables can be processed by importing netCDF
data files from two European Union's Copernicus Marine Service
databases <https://marine.copernicus.eu/>, namely Global Ocean
Physical Reanalysis and Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Hindcast.
