Does >the SSEC archive the AREA8760 images and if so where? I don't believe that they archive this composite, but I will email them to make sure. The unfortunate fact is that _if_ they archive them, then getting them will probably cost real dollars. re: looking for a source of GMS imagery >I thought the GMS data was part of both the rectilinear and Mollweide >images. It is. >What would be gained by stand-alone GMS images? Higher spatial and temporal resolution. Also, more bands (wavelength channels). >As I remember, they only image the eastern half of Nepal. I was not aware of this. I was operating under the assumption that GMS would cover Nepal well enough to be superior to the composite that you have been using. >Thank you for your help with finding higher-resolution geostationary >satellite imagery of Nepal. Are you aware of the BAMS article "A >real-time global half-hourly pixel-resolution infrared dataset and its >applications" by Janowiak, et al., February 2001? No, I was not aware of this article, but I will certainly check it out tomorrow. >Would the data this >paper refers to be a source of high-resolution data for Nepal? Could be. I'll know more after reading the article. Got to run.. Tom
