[IDD #CIV-170475]: LDM Inquery

Hi Weidong,

I apologize for not being able to respond yesterday.

Excellent.  Looks like you didn't need my input to get the
ldm-mcidas 'pnga2area' decoder working with UNIWISC images
being delivered in the IDD.

> Have a look at that image, I can see that it is 8 bit data
> as you said,

All of the images being sent in the IDD (UNIWISC for
GOES sectors) and NIMAGE (for GOES sectors/products in geometric
projections; used by US weather forecast offices) are 8-bit.

We operate ingest systems for GOES-East, GOES-West, and GOES-South
(GOES-10 South American coverage):

GOES-East  - goeseast.unidata.ucar.edu
GOES-West  - goeswest.unidata.ucar.edu
GOES-south - goessouth.unidata.ucar.edu

Full resolution data (i.e., 10-bit) are available from these systems
in real-time via McIDAS ADDE data server.  You can access the imagery
using ADDE-enabled applications like McIDAS-X, Unidata IDV, SSEC
McIDAS-V.  All of these applications are available free-of-charge;
McIDAS-X is available from Unidata to universities who use the
package by students in the pursuit of degrees.  All packages have
the capability of creating local McIDAS AREA format files of the
full resolution data.  They also have the capability of manipulating
the images to produce products like the one(s) you are aiming to
produce.

In order to download packages from Unidata, you must first register
with our website:

Unidata HomePage
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
  Click on the Login link near the top of the page and follow
  the links for new users

To get access to Unidata McIDAS-X/-XCD, you would need to agree
to the restrictions for use that UW/SSEC (the developers/owners
of McIDAS-X) have imposed on our distribution of the package.
I can include this information in a separate email if you are
interested.

Please let me know if you are interested in pursuing use of
Unidata McIDAS-X or the IDV.  If you are, please send the follow-up
email to:

address@hidden   <- McIDAS-X questions
address@hidden      <- IDV questions

Cheers,

Tom
