Introduction

PyEarthData is an easy-to-use python package that helps users fetch data remote sensing data about Earth's surface and atmospheric data. It allows users to fetch historic data about concentration of gases in atmosphere, relative humidity, surface temperature, etc from sensors aboard NASA's satellites.

Main Features

• Get historic and near real-time (NRT) data of Earth's surface and Atmosphere directly from AIRS equipment aboard NASA's aqua satellite and combine it with any GIS tools easily using python. Query for concentration of gases in atmosphere, relative humidity, outgoing radiation, etc.
• Get historic as well as near real-time (NRT) data of Earth Surface Temperature from NASA's POWER (Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources).
