        Introduction to poets, the Python Open Earth Observation Tools
        ==============================================================
        poets is a package with aims to provide a standard library that can be used for
        collecting and resampling geospatial image datasets.
        
        
        Features
        ========
        
        * easy download of geospatial image datasets provided via `Supported Data 
          Sources`
        * spatial and temporal resampling of datasets
        * saves resampled images as NetCDF4 file
        
        
        Supported Datasets
        ==================
        
        Sources Data Sources
        --------------------
        
        In order to work properly, all datasets must be provided via one of the 
        following protocols:
        
        * HTTP
        * FTP
        * SFTP
        
        All files within a repository must be named following a certain structure, 
        this structure MUST NOT vary.
        
        Supported File Types
        --------------------
        
        poets supports following file types:
        
        * NetCDF version >= 4.0
        * png, jpg, tif and gif image files
        
        The latter image files must have global coverage with longitudes from -180 to 
        180 and latitudes from -90 to 90, with the left upper pixel at -180, 90 and the
        right lower pixel at 180,-90.
