[gdal-dev] NOAA satellite swath NetCDF file to georeferenced Gtiff?

Tue Mar 5 11:08:38 PST 2019

You could use xarray to load the netcdf, and then write that data out to geotiff via rasterio. Full automation of this looks like it's still coming, but this ticket response shows how to do it. Might require assigning a crs to it manually, you'll have to play around with it.

Hi All,

Can someone please give me a hint on how to convert a NOAA satellite
swath NetCDF file to georeferenced Gtiff?
I found these:
   https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/4513
   https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc4_geolocate
which implies it cannot be done directly with gdal yet.
Is there another way to this maybe using Python if gdal can't handle it?
