Encoding error when opening PROBA-V from MTDA/TIFFDERIVED/

Submitted by CarolienT on
I am struggling with an issue that pops up from time to time when reading in PROBA-V Geotiff data. {code:python} import xarray as xr file = '/data/MTDA/TIFFDERIVED/PROBAV_L2A_GEOTIFF/1KM/2020/07/20200707/PROBAV_L2A_20200707_065654_1_1KM_V101/PROBAV_L2A_20200707_065654_1_1KM_V101_RADIOMETRY.tif' f = xr.open_rasterio(file) {code} This gives following error message: "UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xf3 in position 2: invalid continuation byte" Is there something wrong with this data? How can I solve this? My script runs fine over many files and then suddenly this pops up. Google/stackoverflow/... has not been super helpful. Thanks in advance!

From gdalinfo it appears that the metadata of this file is corrupt. How can I solve this so the data becomes useful? $ gdalinfo /data/MTDA/TIFFDERIVED/PROBAV_L2A_GEOTIFF/1KM/2020/07/20200707/PROBAV_L2A_20200707_065654_1_1KM_V101/PROBAV_L2A_20200707_065654_1_1KM_V101_RADIOMETRY.tif Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF Files: /data/MTDA/TIFFDERIVED/PROBAV_L2A_GEOTIFF/1KM/2020/07/20200707/PROBAV_L2A_20200707_065654_1_1KM_V101/PROBAV_L2A_20200707_065654_1_1KM_V101_RADIOMETRY.tif Size is 4519, 10432 Coordinate System is: GEOGCS["WGS 84",     DATUM["WGS_1984",         SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563,             AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],         AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],     PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],     UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433],     AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]] Origin = (26.263392857142858,56.084821428571423) Pixel Size = (0.008928571428571,-0.008928571428571) Metadata:   AREA_OR_POINT=Area   TIFFTAG_COPYRIGHT=VITO   xG\ufffd            \ufffd\ufffd=\ufffd1p \ufffdG\ufffd     Image Structure Metadata:   COMPRESSION=DEFLATE   INTERLEAVE=BAND

I found a sollution to circumvent this: The error occurred when using xarray version 0.14.0. Reverting to xarray version 0.12 runs fine.
