Read and convert data acquired by ASCAT on-board the series of Metop satellites.

Works great in combination with `pytesmo <https://github.com/TUW-GEO/pytesmo>`_.

If you use the software in a publication then please cite it using the Zenodo DOI.
Be aware that this badge links to the latest package version.

Please select your specific version at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4610836 to get the DOI of that version.
You should normally always use the DOI for the specific version of your record in citations.
This is to ensure that other researchers can access the exact research artefact you used for reproducibility.

You can find additional information regarding DOI versioning at http://help.zenodo.org/#versioning

Installation
============

ASCAT data are distributed in BUFR, NetCDF, EPS Native and GRIB format. Unfortunately neither BUFR nor GRIB readers work on Windows so if you need these formats then Linux or OS X are your only options.

The following script will download and install all the needed packages.

Linux:

.. code::

    conda env create -f environment.yml

Windows:

.. code::

    conda env create -f environment_win.yml
