As I noted in a previous email, I setup a feed for the CPTEC images
from moingobe at the end of last week.  I have been doing some
comparisons of the CPTEC images I am receiving with those created
by McIDAS from images ingested at SSEC on one of their SDI systems.
I have put together a web page that shows comparisons of each of
the 3 bands that are being inserted into moingobe's LDM queue
and ones sent in the IDD UNIWISC datastream:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/tom/cptec/index.html

Note:

- I intend to add more comparisons to this web page as time permits.
- my conclusions are _preliminary_; they need more investigation
- if I can get access to the source code for the process that creates
  AREA files out of TeraScan TDF images, I might be able to spot where
  some tweeks need to be made

Cheers,

Tom
