SynSatiPy: An Interface to RTTOV for the Computation of Synthetic Satellite Imagery

• is a python package for atmospheric research

• allows to derive satellite images from weather forecasts or from climate simulation

SynSatiPy is a Python interface to the RTTOV software that help to input model data (e.g. from IFS or from ICON) and loads emissivity catalogues and sensor specific files.
