>From: Joe Barrett <address@hidden> >Organization: FSU >Keywords: 200404141715.i3EHFeCT014154 McIDAS ADDE SRO sever Joe, >I noticed that a few ADDE servers contain satellite imagery about every 15 >minutes. The GINIEAST and GINIWEST datasets contain the 15 minute CONUS scans broadcast in NOAAPORT. These datasets are available from several sites that are providing free access to their data through ADDE as part of the Unidata Cooperating Community Server effort. >I would like to know which, if any, of the ADDE servers have >satellite imagery from rapid-scan operations. The only ADDE server I know of that is open to the Unidata community that has SRO scans is unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu. The ADDE group names of the datasets that will be of interest to you are be EAST (GOES-East) and WEST (GOES-West). The ADDE dataset descriptor name in both cases is OTHER. Access is then provided by: DATALOC ADD EAST unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu DATALOC ADD WEST unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu Please note that access to the EAST and WEST datasets has not been publically advertised. The main reason for this is that we are at the beginning of a process that will create a redundant site(s) for all of the GOES-East and GOES-West data. I have not released the information about the datasets on unidata2 since it would most likely get innundated by ADDE hits. After the redundant site(s) are up and running, I will fell more confident that no one server will be innundated by requests. Also, there is an ADDE server operated by NASA that contains global MODIS data from the Aqua and Terra platforms. The server accepts only uncompressed ADDE requests, so if your McIDAS session(s) have the MCCOMPRESS environment varible set, you will have to EXIT your session; unset MCCOMPRESS; and then start a new session before you will be able to access the MODIS data. Access information for the MODIS data is: dataset group name: NANUK ADDE server: nanuk.eosdis.nasa.gov >Joe Barrett >research assistant for Dr. Paul Ruscher >Florida State University Say hi to Paul for me!
