Hello Kota,

I sent a reply to your email on September 9 (Wednesday).  I've copied it here 
again in case it missed you.



NMAP2 does indeed display GOES-13 AREA files, but does not support display of 
netCDF files. 

McIDAS products are available on the UNIWISC feed as PNG-compressed AREA files 
(see http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/datastream.html ), which can be read 
natively by NMAP2 and the GEMPAK programs. The LDM pattern action file 
pqact.conf ( 
https://github.com/Unidata/gempak/blob/master/ldm/etc/templates/pqact.gempak_images.new
 and ~ldm/etc/pqact.gempak_images on an installed system ) defines where the 
UNIWISC imagery will be filed, the default location being subdirectories under 
data/gempak/images/sat, known in the GEMPAK environment as $SAT. This directory 
is automatically available in NMAP2 under Data -> Satellite.
