  2. Step 0. Introduction • SATAID (Satellite Animation and Interactive Diagnosis) is application software developed by JMA and freely available to National Meteorological Services (registration required). • SATAID enables you to visualize satellite images, NWP and other observation data (SYNOP, SHIP etc.), which will greatly help your weather analysis and forecast. • With only your PC (Microsoft Windows 2000 or later) with Internet access, you can download SATAID data automatically and use it operationally. • SATAID application and its dada are provided as a service of WMO DCPC operated by JMA.(http://www.wis-jma.go.jp/cms/sataid/)

  3. Step 1. Copy "wis" folder • Download compressed "wis" file. • Uncompress "wis" file and copy "wis" folder on your PC. • [Notes] • Please copy in the folder, the path of which has no "space". • i.e. Desktop is not appropriate because its path includes at least two spaces at the folder "Documents and Settings". [Example] "wis" folder copied under E drive

  4. Step 2. Edit "WIS.ini" • All of your setting is saved in "WIS.ini" file in "Program" folder. • Open "WIS.ini" with your editor (Notepad etc.), edit and overwrite. "WIS.ini"

  5. Step 2. Edit "WIS.ini" Step 2-1 Step 2-2 Step 2-3 Step 2-1 Enter time difference between UTC and your PC built-in clock (default: 09 hours) Step 2-2 Select your area code (see next slide) (default: nc) Step 2-3 Specify cutout area in latitude and longitude (default: 115E-155E, 10N-50N) [Notes] The cutout area should be the same or smaller than the original data area selected at step 2-2. For southern or western hemisphere, negative number is used (e.g. 20S = - 20, 160W = - 160).

  6. SATAID data area provided by JMA DCPC nw (65N-5S,80E-145E), ne (65N-5S,135E-160W) se (6N-65S,135E-160W), sw (6N-65S,80E-145E) nc (55N-15S,90E-155E), sc (15N-55S,107.5E-172.5E)

  7. Step 2. Edit "WIS.ini" • Step 2-4 • Downloaded data are stored in the following three folders. • "sataid_data_org" (original satellite image and NWP data) • "sataid_data_cut" (cutout image data) • "obsdata" observation data (SYNOP etc.) • [Notes] • If you wish to keep downloaded SATAID data for your archive, please copy the above folders manually to your hard disk etc. • In case you change your setting (area etc.), please delete all the files in the above folders before you start downloading. • *** Edit data delete setting *** • Edit how long (number of days) you need to store the data in the above 3 folders. • Default is all "14" which means the data created 14 days ago or older will be automatically deleted. • Step 2-5 • Enter user ID and password. Step 2-6 In case your network uses proxy server, enter the proxy address and port number, delete comment mark “ ’ ” at the beginning of the line, and set "Use_proxy" option "on". Default is: ' Https_proxy ' http://<proxy address>:<port number>/ Use_proxy off

  8. Step 3. Start auto updating • Double click "Sataid_Loop.bat" in "wis" folder • Select satellite channel and NWP, and observation data • VIS: visible (0.55-0.90 micron) • IR1: Infra-red 1 (10.3-11.3 micron) • IR2: Infra-red 2 (11.5-12.5 micron) • WV: Water Vapor (6.5-7.0 micron) • IR4: Infra-red 4 (3.5-4.0 micron) • GSM: JMA’s Global Spectral Model • Select duration of SATAID animation time (06, 12, 24, 36 hours) • Select "Start Program" and downloading will start.

  9. Step 4 & 5. Stop and close program Step 4 To stop downloading, select "Stop Program" Step 5 To close the program, click "Exit" [Notes] If you close the panel by clicking "x" mark at upper right-hand corner, or clicking "Exit" during download processing, the scripts may remain running. In that case, open the panel again and close it by clicking "Exit".
