Started looking into this given the demise of GINI with GOES-16, interesting that pillow PIL has a McIdasImagePlugin but appears to be too old to work. McIDAS appears to have some sort of python bindings, but does not appear useful for a pure-python stack reader. Thanks for having this on the spring 2018 milestone

Yeah, great minds think alike. 😁

I have a notebook where I've implemented the header parsing and have successfully plotted Himawari data. The main technical tasks left are:

  1. Using all the header information as necessary
  2. Understanding properly all of the projection information
  3. Implementation as an xarray data store

The second one is where I got held up before. This is now floating to the top of things I want to solve.

With any luck, the flight to AMS and free time I have in Austin will be super productive for this...

Oh, thanks for pointing to that. I suspect that's going to be a helpful reference.
