Summary minutes
===

Esben & Lars arrived around 12:30 (train delayed)
Meeting participants: Esben S Nielsen and Lars Ørum Rasmussen (DMI
Anna Geidne, Martin Raspaud and Adam Dybbroe (SMHI)
1) Lunch was good
2) Martin presented the mpop status and plans
3) Lars presented the mipp software – status and plans
We discussed that hdf5dmi.py should be placed outside the package.
Also mipp should take care of missing segments (make sure mipp does not break down if a segment is missing which happens occasionally).
Slicing is needed: Should make it possible to extract only a subset of the whole (geostationary) satellite disc
Simplify the interface.
Check for possible (vicarious) calibration information for Met-7. Currently the data handled by mipp is not calibrated – no physical units (8 bit counts – no Tbs/Rad)
