  2. Overview • Space Science & Engineering Center • McIDAS • McIDAS-Lite

  3. SSEC: Data • National archive for GOES data • Real-time, global geostationary & polar satellite database • World-wide ancillary meteorological data • Direct ingest capability

  4. SSEC: Software • McIDAS • Vis5D • VisAD • IAPP • IMAPP

  5. IMAPP • MODIS portion of the International MODIS/AIRS Processing Package (IMAPP) • Funded by NASA • Software to turn direct broadcast MODIS and eventually AIRS data into science products. The current suite of MODIS products consists of: • Calibrated, navigated 36 channel radiances (L1B) • Cloud Mask (MOD35) • Cloud Top Properties (MOD06) • Cloud Phase (MOD06) • Atmospheric Profiles (MOD07) • Software is freely distributed.

  6. Cloud Top Pressure Low Mid High

  8. One Day of Arctic Orbits MODIS band 27 (6.7 mm)

  9. AIRS Data

  10. McIDAS-Lite • Functionality subset of McIDAS-X • Browse local or remote data • Input data formats • McIDAS image file • MODIS HDF files • Level 1b • Level 2 products

  11. McIDAS-Lite • Output data format • Graphical [GIF, JPEG] • Flat files • netCDF • Geolocate data • Calculate physical quantities • Basic analysis functions • Basic image color enhancement

  12. McIDAS-Lite • Client/server system • Local data • Remote data • ADDE [Abstract Data Distribution Environment] • TCP/IP • Subsecting and sampling • Compression

  13. McIDAS-Lite Status • First release: January 2002 • Used in satellite meteorology class • 200 downloads this summer • 1300 data requests over last 3 months • Version 1.2 released in September 2002
