VCTK in python version

Hi,

Is there any possibility to provide VCTK in python version?
Currently the VIIRS data has change format data, NC format data, and VCTK could not read it (error).

Thank you.

I'll look into the format change. Thank you for letting me know. Porting VCTK from ENVI/IDL to Python would require a lot of effort. I plan to do it eventually, and to port my other plugins as well, but these are capabilities that I maintain in my limited free time.

I started looking into the format change. All of the products in the VIIRS_* groups (VIIRS_SDR, VIIRSI_EDR, etc.) are still in HDF-5 format. I have ordered recent examples of them just to double-check, but they should still be readable by VCTK. I believe you are referring to the newer JPSS_GRAN, JPSS_OCL2, and JPSS_NGRN products, which are in NetCDF-4 format. Those are higher-level derived products. Some replace older VIIRS_EDR products, others are completely new. I will look into supporting them, but there are 46 of them. It will take time.
