Hi Oana, re: > Of course, I used the old "beer" trick! Glad to hear it :-) > The easiest way is to use the EUMETSAT ADDE, of course.

You will need to talk to EUMETSAT user services to get the user name and account key for the ADDE access to the METEOSAT-8 data. I got mine from Marianne Koenig (who is _not_ in the user services group) because I was helping debug the system. I am not sure who you should contact, but I might start with: Debbie Richards EUMETSAT User Services "e-mail OPS" <address@hidden> > Thank you very, very much for this information, I will be very interested to hear how easy/hard the process is for you. One of the goals that Volker and I agreed on very early on in this effort was for the need to do the following in order: 1) install an ADDE server (done by Marianne) 2) test the server for long haul access (i.e., to Unidata) (done) 3) get EUMETSAT member states researchers/educators to use the service 4) press to make the service freely available to all Your access is essential the beginning of step #4 !
