Hi Mekonnen,

>(1) I downloaded GOES IR data from the CLASS website (since my study area is
>US, I think this is more helpful than the composite data I have been
>analyzing so far).

OK.

>So I downloaded the data in 'AREA' format, and put them

Sounds good.

>I did (i) desserve, (2) impcopy, and (3)
>axform. But when I looked at the data, the lower array of each datafile is
>zeroes. Could you look at this if there is something wrong?

Did you look at the image data before doing the IMGCOPY?  What dataset
are you using to access the files you downloaded from the CLASS website
(there are logs of ADDE dataset definitions in your account now)?

>(2) Thanks for you comment on the script. I have attached the script that I
>am planning to run for these datafiles, could you check if the script looks
>okay to you? 

OK.

>(3) Where can I find the time information for these datafiles?

The time information?  If you mean the time of the images, an IMGLIST
will list out that information.

As soon as I know which dataset to use, I will jump on and check out
the images.

>Thanks much,

No worries.

This looks good, although it seems to me that you are missing the
closing statement for the 'for' loop.

Cheers,

Tom
