offset in coastline

[Thanasis Karagiannidis]

Dear all

 

I have noticed a weird behavior when adding coastlines in my seviri images. The coastline is a bit “off”. The problem becomes apparent when I zoom in small areas. Please check the example I attach.

 

Below is the line that calls the coastline shapefile and my area definition. The shapfile dirs (GSHHS_shp and WDBII_shp) are inside “/home/thankar/Pytroll/aux/”.

 

How can I correct that offset?

 

Best regards Sakis

 

coast = {'coast_dir': '/home/thankar/Pytroll/aux/','color': (0, 0, 0), 'width': 0.5, 'resolution': 'f'}

Sakis,

I'm not really sure about the offset, but could you provide your entire
script that generates these images? Or a small example that reproduces
this issue?

Dear Sakis,

Thanks for reporting this to us. We have spent a lot of time making
sure that the coastlines match the actual data, but unfortunately
SEVIRI data is know to wobble quite a bit, so please check that the
offset is consistent across multiple scene around the day.

If you feel there is still a problem, please sent us the exact script
you use to generate this image as Dave asked :)

Best regards,
Martin
