Monkey wrench gathers the tools to run CHIMP, fetch and process its input files, analyse and visualise its output, and much more! It is an attempt to avoid reinventing the wheel by consolidating all Python scripts and codes that we use alongside CHIMP.

In particular, you can:

• Query and fetch SEVIRI data from the EUMETSAT API via either single queries or batches
• Resample fetched files from the API
• Use the provided CHIMP extensions to allow for reading files which are not natively supported by CHIMP
• Perform queries on local files, datetime objects, and conversion between filenames and datetime stamps
• Run CHIMP for different groups of input files in a queue
• Perform post-processing of CHIMP output as well as some visualization utilities
• Use it as a task runner
