Thanks Jose and Vincent for the quick replies. I'll have to read up on the
gdal bindings it seems.
What I want to do is quite simple (I think). I simply would like to be able
to:
1) Download any resolution of the hdf files available via :
http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/realtime/2009XXX/ where XXX is day of
year.
2) Import the hdf into python, access the data (reproject if necessary).
Yes, it's the merged RGB level 1 data I want to ultimately plot.
2b) produce geotiffs for use elsewhere
3) Plot the data in basemap, plot some other data (my own, xy tracks,
points, etc) over the data.
4) Save png files
I'll have a look at your notes now.
