The following methods are available to use GeoTIFF files of “SHIKISAI” Level-2/Level-3 data.

* How to convert standard data obtained from G-Portal

  • -CUI: SGLI Map projection & GeoTIFF conversion Tool (The link to the download site is provided from "Tools " below.)
  • -GUI: Earth Observation Data Conversion Tool (Click on the tool name to go to the download page.)

* How to convert netCDF data obtained from the JASMES site to GeoTIFF

  • JASMES netCDF data can be read by the Add Layer function in QGIS.

1) Command for Level-2/Level-2 statistic products (single SD array) conversion

Using the Windows command prompt or the equivalent, go to the directory where "SGLI_geo_map_win.exe" is located.
(The Windows command prompt can be accessed from Windows Start > Windows System > Command Prompt)
Below is an example where SGLI_geo_map_win.exe and the data folder containing the data are in the sgli_data folder directly on the C drive.

The command is an example of map projection of an SD array LST in Image_data and output as an LZW compressed GeoTIFF file.
The pixel value of 65535 is set for an invalid value, and the slope and offset in the attribute (text information) are stored in the GDAL_METADATA tag.
The values can be found in the <Slope> and <Offset> tags in the XML file output with the GeoTIFF conversion.

>cd C:\sgli_data
>SGLI_geo_map_win.exe C:\sgli_data\data\GC1SG1_20220807A01D_T0428_L2SG_LST_Q_3000.h5 -d Image_data/LST -r 0 -a default -n 65535 -z -o C:\sgli_data

Command Explanation

For details on optional commands, please refer to the User's manual.

  • SGLI_geo_map_win.exe: SGLI Map projection & GeoTIFF conversion Tool for Windows
  • GC1SG1_20220807A01D_T0428_L2SG_LST_Q_3000.h5: Product name obtained from G-Portal
  • -d Image_data/LST: SD array name (dataset name) in Image_data to be converted
  • -r 0: Resampling method (NN)
  • -a default: Set conversion coefficients (slope/offset) for physical quantities. If the software supports it, like QGIS, the converted values will be displayed (the data will retain their original values).
  • -n 65535: Set an invalid value
  • -z: Apply LZW compression
  • -o C:\sgli_data: Set any output destination

See "GeoTIFF Tag Information" for the tag information stored in the converted GeoTIFF file.

2) Combining multiple SD arrays of Level-2/Level-2 statistic products into one file

Using the Windows command prompt or the equivalent, go to the directory where "SGLI_geo_map_win.exe" is located.
(The Windows command prompt can be accessed from Windows Start > Windows System > Command Prompt)
Below is an example where SGLI_geo_map_win.exe and the data folder containing the data are in the sgli_data folder on the C drive.

The command is an example of map projection of SD arrays Lt_VN03, Lt_VN05, and Lt_VN08 in Image_data and output as a single LZW compressed GeoTIFF file.
The pixel value of 65535 is set for an invalid value, and the slope and offset values in the attribute (text information) are stored in the GDAL_METADATA tag.
The values are in the tags in the XML file output with the GeoTIFF conversion.
Multiple arrays can be output to a single GeoTIFF file using the QA_flag on LTOA/RSRF products or single files.
* To output two files, one geophysical and one QA_flag, in a single GeoTIFF and display them in QGIS, set Layer Properties > Symbology > Rendering Type to single band gray.

>cd C:\sgli_data
>SGLI_geo_map_win.exe C:\sgli_data\data\GC1SG1_20220503D01D_T0528_L2SG_LTOAK_2011.h5 -c VN08,VN05,VN03 -r 0 -a reflectance -n 65535 -z -o C:\sgli_data

  • SGLI_geo_map_win.exe: SGLI Map projection & GeoTIFF conversion Tool for Windows
  • GC1SG1_20220503D01D_T0528_L2SG_LTOAK_2011.h5: Product name obtained from G-Portal
  • -c VN08,VN05,VN03: SD array names (dataset names) in Image_data to be converted
  • -r 0: Resampling method (NN)
  • -a reflectance: Set the reflectance conversion coefficients (slope_reflectance, offset_reflectance). If the software supports it, like QGIS, the converted values will be displayed (the data will retain their original values).

3) The gdal command during Level-3 product conversion

To use the gdal command, start OSgeo4W Shell.
(The OSgeo4W Shell can be accessed from Windows Start > QGIS 3.22.8 > OSgeo4W Shell for a typical installation. The above GeoTIFF output tool is also available from the OSgeo4W Shell.)
Navigate to the directory where the data to be converted to GeoTIFF is stored.

Below is an example where the data to be converted is in the sgli_data folder on the C drive.
The command is an example of map projection of the SD array LST_AVE in Image_data and output as an LZW compressed GeoTIFF file.
The pixel value of 65535 is set for an invalid value, and the slope and offset values in the attribute (text information) are stored in the GDAL_METADATA tag.
The slope and offset can be checked with the gdalinfo command, HDFView (tool download required), etc.
For example, please refer to "How to Confirm SD array name of Level-2/Level-3 land products."

4) The gdal command for applying QA_flag to Level-2/Level-3 products

Here is an example of applying QA_flag information to LST data created with the "SGLI Map projection & GeoTIFF conversion Tool."
Convert the LST and QA_flag to GeoTIFF using option "-c" in the "SGLI Map projection & GeoTIFF conversion Tool."
The following command extracts data for which the 10-bit (residual 2K or more) and 15th-bit (no input data) flags in one pixel set in QA_flag of LST are "0." The flags are "0" or "1."
Information on LST's QA_flag can be found in the "Products and Algorithms" section of the EORC GCOM-C website (https://suzaku.eorc.jaxa.jp/GCOM_C/data/update/Algorithm_LST_en.html).

Example of bit calculation

* A >> 10 or right_shift(A, 10) ------ If A has the pixel value (decimal: 18431) "01000111111111111111", it is shifted right by 10 bits. The data will be for "010001".
* A & 1 or bitwise_and(A, 1) ------ Performs a bitwise operation of "1" (decimal: 1) on the pixel value of A. Extract the 10th bit of the original data.

5) How to Confirm SD array names of Level-2/Level-3 Land products

For SD array names, please refer to "SD Array Names of Level-2/Level-3 Land Products" below.
For more information, please visit the EORC GCOM-C "Standard Products and Algorithms" website.

The SD array can be checked in the following ways.
For GeoTIFF conversion of Level 3 products, please use gdalinfo of gdal.

gdalinfo HDFView

If you have a typical QGIS installation, please use the OSGeo4W Shell.
(Start Menu > QGIS 3.22.8 > OSGeo4W Shell) for version 3.22
Go to the directory containing the data to be converted and enter gdalinfo followed by the file name.
Image_data_xxx_Offset, Slope corresponds to offset, scale in gdal.
After "Image_data/" in SUBDATASET is the SD array name; for conversion in gdal, specify the underlined part.

Example of Level-3 LST display.
(1) SD array name in Image_data
(2) SD array name in Geometry_data (only folder if not included)

7) Converting to a physical quantity

When converted to GeoTIFF using the SGLI Map projection & GeoTIFF conversion Tool, the coefficients (slope/offset) of the geophysical conversion are output to an XML file created at the same time.
Display in a text editor or browser.

Below is an example of LST XML.
The values of <Slope> and <Offset> are substituted for "Pixel Value * Slope + Offset" to convert the pixel value into a physical quantity. The unit is Kelvin [K].
<Data_description>Sea Surface Temperature[SST]: SST[degree]=DN*Slope+Offset <Slope>2.000000e-002</Slope>
<Offset>0.000000e+000</Offset>
<Unit>Kelvin</Unit>

When the gdal command is used, the value converted to Kelvin [K] with the following command is stored.
The slope can be left as "2.000000e-002".

>gdal_calc -A input.tif --outfile=output.tif --type=Float32 --calc="A * 0.02" --NoDataValue=65535

8) Checking the data quality flag (QA Flag)

Product quality flags (QA_Flag) are stored as 16- or 8-bit ON (1) and OFF (0) information.
Product quality information can be found in the "QA_flag information" section of each product page on the "Standard Products & Algorithms" (https://suzaku.eorc.jaxa.jp/GCOM_C/data/product_std.html) website.
