Python Workflows to Extract and Plot Satellite Data Products along Tracks

This tutorial aims to assist participants in writing Python workflows to monitor the movement of a satellite or any moving planar object. The goal is to extract data from its measurements, generate plots along its trajectory, and evaluate the effectiveness of geophysics and atmospheric models. Specifically, we will concentrate on utilizing data from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aboard the Aura satellite. To accomplish this, we’ll employ Python packages such as h5py and MovingPandas, in conjunction with Pandas, Shapely, and GeoPandas. These tools will enable us to create a straightforward workflow for extracting time series data and plotting it along the path of the satellite.
