McIDAS-V Support Forums

Hi Bob, It was my problem. I was using the chooser and selecting the visible before the IR, but I had the formula set up in the reverse order. I am not sure why I saw different results for the two displays, but when input correctly, the either RGB Composite of 3 Color (RGB) Image display the similar...

Hi Bob, The data I last saw from the UNIDATA THREDDS server were not the original netCDF files, they were the remapped AWIPS data. It is useful to be able to access the AWIPS files for various purposes, but the data from the AWS would match data from NOAA CLASS or the PDA. It would be extremely help...

Hi, I have two questions about the sandwich product: 1.) It seems that I can create an animation using RGB Composite, but not 3 Color (RGB) Image. Is this an expected behavior? How will users know to use RGB Composite? 2.) Is the Sandwich color table actually in the distributed McIDAS-V color tables...

Under the topic "List of freely available data that McIDAS-V can display" ( http://mcidas.ssec.wisc.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1195&start=0&sid=4c1681f10760b66e90f299bedbc4bff8 ), I added a quick outline about how to display NEXRAD data of AWS. Has UNIDATA created a THREDD...

There is also the capability to access NEXRAD data on amazon web services using a THREDDS server In McIDAS-V: Access the catalog and load the data In the Data Sources tab select General—>Catalogs Use the Catalog link: http://thredds-aws.unidata.ucar.edu/thredds/catalog.xml Click "Select File…” ...

Hi Bob, As a gridded data source, the DQF parameters won't match exactly with the locations in the AREA file, as far as I know. Is this correct? I think this might put us back to the question of being able to revert back to the fixed grid format from a file loaded as an AREA. I am not sure if we eve...

Thanks Bob, that was the issue. Second question: Do you know if there is a way to access the DQF parameters that would align with the ADDE formatted requests? These parameters do not seem to be applied to the AREA information but are important in many cases.

Thanks,
Joleen

Hi, Is it possible to create a local adde connection to L1b files? I tried this localEntry = makeLocalADDEEntry(dataset='Sandwich', imageType='M1', mask=data_path, format='GOES-16 ABI', save=True) and got this Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 72, in <module> File &q...

Hi, I have GOES-16 data locally, that are copied via an ADDE IMGCOPY. It seems that these two UNIT parameters work: ir_temperature = loadADDEImage(band=14, unit='Temperature', **loadADDE) and ir_temp = loadADDEImage(band=14, unit='TEMP', **loadADDE) but only this works for visible vis_alb = loadADDE...
