Yes. >If it can, can the imagery be >displayed using different projections? The images can be remapped (IMGREMAP) into a variety of different projections: HELP IMGREMAP ... PRO=DEST | use the navigation of ddataset (def) =LAMB slat1 slat2 slon | Lambert Conformal, standard latitude and standard longitude (slat1 def=30, slat2 def=50, slon def=center longitude) =MERC slat | Mercator projection and standard latitude (slat def=0) =MOLL slon | Mollweide projection and standard longitude (slon def=0) =PS slat slon | Polar Stereographic projection, standard latitude and standard longitude (slat def=60, slon def=center longitude) =RADAR rot | Radar projection and rotation angle (rot def=0) =RECT | Rectilinear projection =SIN | Sinusoidal Equal Area projection =TANC slat slon | Tangent Cone projection, standard latitude and standard longitude (slat def=30 if center latitude is in northern hemisphere, -30 if center latitude in southern hemisphere; slon def=center longitude) ... The PRO=DEST means to use the navigation of the image into which you are remapping the input image. The output image must, therefore, already exist. Tom
