>Hello.  I work at the NWS in Rapid City, SD and was working with the ncdump

>our netCDF satellite images.  The values ranged from the -100s to the +100s.
>However, when I took the same files down to the School of Mines computer

>at the NWS became a 144 pixel value at the school.  What is going on here?

Without any information on your CDL, I cannot tell you what
is the cause of your apparent discrepancy.

Perhaps you can provide some listings that show how you arrived at
the above statements.
