The Tools to use SGLI products are available.
Tools for GCOM-C/SGLI
Operating environment : Windows 10, Linux 2.6(64bit)
The tool is used to convert the imageries in HDF5 files of SGLI products into the generic GeoTIFF files through map projections of geodetic latitude/longitude or polar stereographic coordinates.
The user interface is command line input using CUI (Character User Interface).
For GUI (Graphical User Interface) tools, please use this "Format Conversion Tool".
For more information, please refer to the following manual.

This tool detects the number of RSP-path for raster data in the L2-tiles on a daily basis (01D) based on the observing time and attaches it to the original filename. If the tile includes multiple RSP paths, the tool separates the tile for each of the paths and outputs their corresponding multiple HDF5 files.

There are two ways to read AMSR2 data constructed as an HDF5 file.
One is to use only the HDF5 library, and the other is to use the AMSR2 Product I/O Toolkit which uses
the HDF5 library as internal routine, for reading AMSR2 data in your own C program or Fortran program.
It is necessary to download Leap seconds data with this software.
For more information, look at the User's Manual.
Please be sure to use the old AMTK (Ver. 1.12) for old PRC product (Ver. 1.0).

Orbit Viewer THOR is a tool for displaying the standard data products of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM). THOR stands for the Tool for High-resolution Observation Review. THOR displays GPM and TRMM products on a map of the Earth when possible, and otherwise, as 2D plots or text output. Since 1997, the Precipitation Processing System (PPS) at NASA Goddard has developed and distributed many versions of Orbit Viewer THOR.
Spacecraft/Sensor: GPM, TRMM
Platform: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux
TKIO(Science Algorithm Input/Output Toolkit), this I/O(input and output) toolkit are designed to make it easy for the Algorithm Developer and/or Researcher to access to the product of GPM and TRMM which were developed by NASA/PPS.
