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 BUFR output format package supports Data Tailor by providing several EPS collections with the Binary Universal Form for the Representation of meteorological data extension format.

Reformatting to BUFR is now available without any further customisation for the following product types: "IASIL1C-ALL", "IASSND02", "MHSL1", "AMSUL1".
