Xarray(python)读取?Sentinel-5P(S5P)哨兵数据

需求分析：NC文件的常规包netcdf4使用手感较xarray略显笨拙，故尝试使用xarray读取包含Group的.nc4文件

数据：S5P二级数据：S5P_RPRO_L2__HCHO， 来源：欧洲哥白尼，或NASA（推荐，因为好下载）

一、使用panoly可视化

（1）导入后的界面：

（2）选择变量后，点击Create Plot按钮可视化：

即可得到HCHO的Plot图以及Array可视化。

二、使用python里的工具包读取

import os
import xarray as xr
import netCDF4 as nc  # 对于nc4文件，其内含groups，Dir = ['../S5P_Pre/Wget_HCHO']   # 时间跨度180514 ~ 190805
file = os.listdir(Dir[0])
file.sort(key = lambda x:int(x.split('___')[1][:8]))  # 按年月日排序# （1）使用nc包打开
ns = nc.Dataset(os.path.join(Dir[0], file[0]))   #这里的数据存储在groups里面的PRODUCT里面
hcho = ns['PRODUCT']['formaldehyde_tropospheric_vertical_column'][:]# (2) 使用xarray包打开 —— 推荐方式
xs = xr.open_dataset(os.path.join(Dir[0], file[0]), group = 'PRODUCT')  # 这里需用group函数指定组名称

（1）netcdf4的读取结果：

In[29]: ns
Out[29]: Subset parameters: {
    "PRODUCT": ["S5P_L2__HCHO__.1"], "INFILENAMES": ["S5P_RPRO_L2__HCHO___20180514T023918_20180514T042246_03018_01_010105_20190203T205044.nc"], "INFILETYPE": ["nc"], "OUTFILETYPE": ["nc4"], "TIMENAME": [["TROP2010", "/PRODUCT/time", "/PRODUCT/delta_time"]], "VARNAMES": ["/PRODUCT/formaldehyde_tropospheric_vertical_column", "/PRODUCT/qa_value", "/PRODUCT/time_utc", "/PRODUCT/scanline", "/PRODUCT/ground_pixel"], "BOXLONRANGE": [73.0, 136.0], "BOXLATRANGE": [3.0, 54.0], "TIMERANGE": [800414432.0, 800496009.0], "GRIDTYPES": ["SWATH"], "CONVERTFILETYPE": [true]}dimensions(sizes): variables(dimensions): groups: PRODUCT, METADATAIn[30]: ns['PRODUCT']

(2) xarray的读取结果:

xs
Out[34]:

三 、不足
使用xarray读取含Groups的嵌套文件如.nc4时，需要先知道其所在的Gropus名称，即需要先用panoly软件或nc4包打开。
