Main functions extract a user defined subset of satellite
data from hdf5 files which are then available for further
analyses and can also be displayed in maps. Currently supported
NOAA products includes: Advanced Very High Resolution
Radiometer (AVHRR); Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT);
Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (from Aqua
satellite: Aqua MODIS) and Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view
Sensor (SeaWiFS). The functions have been tested with sea
surface temperature (SST) from AVHRR and Aqua MODIS;
chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration from Aqua MODIS and SeaWiFS
and ocean surface wind speed data from QuikSCAT.
