The EUMETSAT Data Tailor makes it possible for users to subset and aggregate EUMETSAT data products in space and time, filter layers, generate quicklooks, project onto new coordinate reference systems, and reformat into common GIS formats (netCDF, GeoTIFF, etc.). It offers a uniform way to transform both historical and near real-time satellite data provided by EUMETSAT.

The optional NetCDF generator package supports Data Tailor by providing functionality for generating output files in NetCDF4 (Data Centre) “netcdf4_satellite“ format, as available via the EUMETSAT Data Centre (https://archive.eumetsat.int/).

Generating the NetCDF4 (Data Center) with limited customisation outputs is available for the following product types: "AMSAL1", "ASCATL1SZO", "ASCATL1SZR", "ASCATL2SMO", "ASCATL2SMR", "AVHRRL1", "GOME2L1", "HIRSL1", "HRSEVIRI", "HRSEVIRI_HRV", "IASIL1", "IASSND02", "MHSL1", "MSGCLMK".
