Open external MODIS geolocation product

[nevermind]

Hi everybody,

I am trying to load the "cloud_top_height_1km" data set from a MOD06 HDF-file using the code modis.load["cloud_top_height_1km"]. This gives me the following error:

KeyError: "Unknown datasets: {DataQuery(name='cloud_top_height_1km')}"

I thought that this might be because this data set is classified as an "external MODIS geolocation product", instead of "internal geolocation arrays", but I have be able to open some other "external MODIS geolocation products" like cloud_effective_radius without any problems with the same code.

Any ideas, why satpy is unable to find this particular data set?

Hi,

Satpy puts this variable under the "cloud_top_height" name along with
the 5km variant of the variable "Cloud_Top_Height". You can see the
configuration of that product here:

https://github.com/pytroll/satpy/blob/bafe54e1d3c598f1d70b616e8d27bb2b25c62190/satpy/etc/readers/modis_l2.yaml#L193-L203

Bottom line, load `cloud_top_height` and it should work.
