Hi Martin,
I've experienced some trouble when reading HRIT in conjunction with trollduction and area definitions of different extent.. I think in helper_functions.py the NaN-check in function boundaries_to_extent should be fixed.
for i in range(4):
if extent[i] is np.nan:
extent[i] = default_extent[i]
should be replaced with
for i in range(4):
if np.isnan(extent[i]):
extent[i] = default_extent[i]
Best regards,
Christian
