Level 2 Visualization Using Python Pyresample Library (1)

[yiboj]

Pyresample is a Python package for resampling (reprojection) of earth observing satellite data. Pyresample handles both resampling of gridded data (e.g. geostationary satellites) and swath data (polar orbiting satellites). Pyresample can use multiple processor cores for resampling. Pyresample supports masked arrays.

Here is the plot and code using VIIRS Level 2 dataset:
