Dataset
https://data.source.coop/bkr/geo/himawari_1000m.icechunk
Problem
Gridlook currently supports several grid/projection types (regular, curvilinear, polar_stereographic, healpix, triangular, etc.), but does not yet support geostationary satellite projections.
This dataset is a Himawari-8 AHI full-disk geostationary dataset stored in Icechunk/Zarr. The dataset contains projected x/y coordinates in meters and enough metadata to reconstruct the projection. BUT the xy coords are called x_geostationary and y_geostationary.
Relevant metadata:
{
"proj": "geos",
"lon_0": 140.7,
"h": 35785863,
"x_0": 0,
"y_0": 0,
"a": 6378137,
"rf": 298.257024882273
}
Coordinate ranges:
x_geostationary: -5.5e6 to 5.5e6 meters
y_geostationary: -5.5e6 to 5.5e6 meters
Proposed catalog entry
{
"title": "Himawari-8 AHI Full Disk Reflectance",
"url": "https://data.source.coop/bkr/geo/himawari_1000m.icechunk",
"format": "Zarr v3",
"access": "icechunk",
"convention": null,
"layout": "simple",
"grid": "geostationary",
"crs": "geos"
}
Notes
The dataset uses extremely large chunks:
chunks: (1, 11000, 11000)
dtype: float16
This corresponds to approximately:
~242 MB uncompressed per chunk
which may make visualization slow / impossible with gridlook.
