Re: 20030611: GOES10 imagery from SSEC

Steve,
I placed a sample copy of the data file that is causing me problems in
ftp://ftp.cicese.mx/pub/divOC/ocefisica/farfan/AREA0007

This is a single band image and I was told that it is in the standard McIDAS
AREA file format. It is a visible image from 18 UTC 30 September 2001
from GOES-10 for a region centered over northwestern Mexico and the
Baja California peninsula.

The application of the "gdmap" is not allowing me to display the image. Here,
I am setting SATFIL=AREA0007 and the rest of parameters in the appropriate
form. I have experience displaying GOES imagery from the Unidata-Wisconsin
archive and this makes me suspect that something is different in the above sample.

Let me know if you need additional information that I can provide.

Thanks,  Luis M Farfan.

Luis,

I would need a copy of the data file you have.
If the data files is a multi-banded image, you would need to
separate the different images in to separate files.

Hi,
this note is to request assistance to find a way to display GOES-10
(1-km resolution) imagery with the GEMPAK package.

I received imagery from SSEC in Wisconsin and I was told that they
are in the standard McIDAS AREA file format. Programs from the
GEMPAK package, as well as GARP, are used to display it and all what
I get is patterns of noise. Attached is an example of ths output.

Normally, I use GEMPAK/GARP to display the satellite imagery
>from the Unidata-Wisconsin data stream. However, this is the first
time I attempt to display imagery from other sources within SSEC.

Are you able to provide assistance on this case?

Thanks, Luis M Farfan.
