I'm a first time user. I downloaded a Sentinel-1 granule. I'm now trying to visualize it via the following script:

import rasterio
from rasterio.plot import show
path = '.../x.SAFE/measurement/y-001.tiff'
src = rasterio.open(path)

show(src)

However this gives me the following error:

TypeError: Image data of dtype complex128 cannot be converted to float

What else do I need to do?

Looks like your data is Single Look Complex (SLC), you'll need to convert it to float. You can do this yourself with numpy, or with https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/derived.html GDAL (which rasterio uses under the hood) will compute the intensity for you. 

e.g.

src = rasterio.open('DERIVED_SUBDATASET:INTENSITY:../x.SAFE/measurement/y-001.tif')
