Himawari Lat/Lon Values

Post by joleenf »

Hi,

I am trying to view a modified H8 AREA created in McIDAS-X using IMGOPER. I cannot load this data in McIDAS-V due to missing information of lat/lon. This AREA displays in McIDAS-X. However, an IMGLIST shows the CENTER LAT/LON is missing. (See attached image). I checked the original area copied from the geoarc server, and IMGLIST also has a missing lat/lon. What is the correct call to copy this area from the server? The IMGCOPY I used is listed below.

In MCX:

(A is a local area alias. For me...AKA ADD LOCAL/AREA)

Code: Select all

IMGCOPY QHIM08/FD03 A.200 TIME=4:29 4:31 DAY=2016280 SIZE=9999 9999 MAG=-9 -9 BAND=3 UNIT=BRIT  

IMGOPER A.200 A.8895 SCALE=0 255 0 255 SIZE=ALL   (not sure why I do this)

IMGOPER A.8895 A.8901 SIZE=ALL ULMT=50 SCALE=0 50 0 20   (the final area that I am trying to view in McIDAS-V)

Attached is an image of the error in McV. I also show the color table used in McX to display the variation in the image because the BRIT values are low. (0-20).

I have placed the area at

ftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/ssec/joleenf/AREA8901

Found it....I am mixing up SIZE=NLIN NELE between how McIDAS-V lists it and how I should actually call it in McIDAS-X. My first IMGCOPY should be


IMGCOPY QHIM08/FD03 A.200 TIME=4:29 4:31 DAY=2016280 SIZE=SAME MAG=-9 -9 BAND=3 UNIT=BRIT


I can now display this in McIDAS-V
