Hi Patrick, re: > I am trying to locate a McIDAS server to acquire POES AHVRR data. Are you > aware > of any public McIDAS servers with this data? NOAA maintains a number of ADDE server installations that probably have the data you are looking for. Most of these machines require that one be granted access after specifying one or two machines from which the ADDE access will be initiated. Unidata received access to most of the NOAA ADDE servers several years ago by virtue of our existing relationship(s) with NOAA. Since you work for NOAA, it would seem that you should be given access to the various machines without jumping through too many hoops. The last I heard (and that was 2 years ago), the NOAA/NESDIS Satellite Services Division person to contact to get access to NOAA's ADDE servers was Richard Garey <address@hidden>. (I was told that Richard was the contact by Brian Hughes <address@hidden>). Given the length of time that has passed since I last looked into the procedure for getting access to the NOAA ADDE servers, it is likely that the contact person(s) has changed, but Richard and/or Brian might be a good place to start. Another resource you might be interested in is the MODIS data on the NASA machine, nanuk.eosdis.nasa.gov. The ADDE dataset group name for this machine is NANUK.
