Hallo
I would like to write code in python which takes as input (.nc) files from Level 2 MODIS parameter sst and converts them into geotiff. Do you know where i can find something like that?

Thank you in advance.

Actually we supply a python script that takes an L2 file and outputs an image in any projection the proj4 can create. It can also output in many file formats including geottiff.

Check out $OCSSWROOT/scripts/l2mapgen.py

How can i see that ? from where? I want to run the script directly in python and not from any external programm.

Don mentioned the OCSSW script "l2mapgen.py" If you have access to linux or MacOS you can install the OCSSW software from the SeaDAS GUI. If not you may want to consider beampy (look in <SeaDAS_install_dir>\modules\beam-python-5.0.5-SNAPSHOT) or the newer "snappy" from ESA SNAP.
