Hi Justin, re: > I ran IMGCOPY for both a band3 and band14 image. The odd thing (or at least > I found it odd) is the size of the area file output was exactly the same > down to the kilobyte for both. This doesn't surprise me. The question is if the MD5 checksum is different? re: > My goal is actually to actually ingest these into AWIPS. I have had success > with MTSAT2 images, but not with the HIMAWARI-8 so far, but I am wondering > if the area files are correct or if there might be something off. I wouldn't be able to say unless I could get access to the AREA files you have created and then examine them in McIDAS-X.
