[McIDAS #VQU-472558]: imgcopy UNIT parameter

Very good.

It is hard to speculate without any information.

It would be most helpful if you would put the original METEOSAT-11 image
from which the netCDF file was created.  Without that, all I can look at
is the result of something, not the original data.

re:

No worries.

What do the values in the original file look like?  For this, I need to
be able to interrogate the original image.

Cheers,

Tom
