(forwarded to the list for Matthew Lazzara) Stu, Hello! It has recently come to my attention that you know of an Geon IDV user who is looking into weather data sources over the Antarctic. Our group is funded by the NSF Office of Polar Programs providing such data to the community. We are not yet IDV users, but do offer a fair bit of data via McIDAS ADDE of which many can be read into IDV. There are several sources of data (our Antarctic satellite composites are our trademark, along with other observations - radiosonde, synoptics, METAR, etc., and especially our network of Automatic Weather Stations, etc.) that will work with IDV. Additionally, we are running an "IDD" for Antarctica - the Antarctic-IDD which uses Unidata's LDM to provide a variety of meteorology data - model output, satellite imagery, observations, etc. Please see: http://amrc.ssec.wisc.edu Please have your Geon IDV user get in touch with me anytime and we'll gladly assist as best as we can. I have used IDV some, but notice that is has some limits - some things are not yet programmed yet into it for capabilities, but we would be most curious to know what the needs are of those interested. Thank you!
