Nansat is a scientist friendly Python toolbox for processing 2D satellite earth observation data.

The main goal of Nansat is to facilitate:

• easy development and testing of scientific algorithms,

• easy analysis of geospatial data, and

• efficient operational processing.

You can also find a detailed description of Nansat in our paper published in Journal of Open Research Software in 2016.
