Hi Kwan, re: > Just following up on my last email about the burning smell that > apparently came from my laptop--I have not smelled that smell since > then. I was trying to think of an explanation. It appears to me that > the smell came out when I got those really sultry days with tropical > humidity here. I can't think of other reasons why I have not smelled > the burning smell since the air temperature has dropped. Hmm... I can't imagine why a hot, sultry day would result in a burning smell. Weird. re: > On another note, are there any McIDAS ADDE servers that offer current > Himawari images? SSEC has Himawari data, but they have moved away from ADDE access to use of McFETCH. Unidata sites can get a certain amount of satellite imagery per month for free, from them, but that amount is on the small side for people trying to do support for field programs, for instance. I have been told that Himawari data is available in the Amazon cloud, and I think that the access is free. I do not think that it is available via an ADDE server, however.
