Hi Luis, We put your email into our inquiry tracking system so that it can be properly handled... re: > We would like to set up a similar images for Jamaica as we have for > Puerto Rico 1KM resolution images). We have tried directly form > mcidas but I can only get 4KM resolution. I appreciate any help. The Unidata e-letter had an animation of Hurricane Ike radar reflectivities which were at 1km resolution. Your comment about 4KM resolution would appear to be in reference to the Hurricane Ike data _except_ that there are no 4KM radar reflectivity products. Question: - were you referring to getting access to 1km satellite imagery? If the answer is yes, then you do have access to 1km VIS satellite imagery through McIDAS: ADDE Dataset server ----------------+--------------------------------------------------- GINIEAST adde.cise-nsf.gov, adde.ucar.edu, idd.unl.edu, etc. The 1km VIS images from GOES-East are available in the GINIEAST/GE1KVIS dataset on all of the servers listed in the Unidata McIDAS page on Publically Accessible McIDAS ADDE servers page: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/mcidas/adde_servers.html Please not that there is _no_ GOES infrared imagery at 1km resolution. The highest resolution for infrared images from all current GOES platforms (GOES-East, GOES-West, GOES-10) is 4km. Please let me know if you have any questions about McIDAS ADDE access to 1km resolution satellite imagery, or if I have misinterpreted the question/comment you originally sent to Jo Hansen. > Thanks No worries.
