I tried sending the same email myself ( the full >text ). I too received only the portion of the mail ( like you >did ). I don't know why. Very strange. >History of the problem ( IMGCOPY -thing ) > >We basically thought the images we downloaded from SSEC to pur PCs >are multibanded. Thats why when viewed on IDV they are garbled. We >thought we will ( first ftp the data from PCs to s400) convert this >multibanded image to single banded image using IMGCOPY , FTP the >data back to our PCs to work on IDV. This was good thinking! >But I think, the images are already single banded. Please send me the full output of an IMGLIST command for one or more of the images you grabbed from SSEC. Make sure that the IMGLIST command includes the FROM=ALL keyword sequence. >We after IMGCOPY, displayed the data using IMGDISP command. But the >image that was displayed was garbled. It is beginning to seem like the images are bad. >Since you said you are not able to log on to s400 ( netwrok problems >in Wmich.edu??? ), I tried, but the SSH kept timing out. I just tried again and got the same results (SSH timeout). I tried this both as 'mcidas' and as 'ldm'. I don't know if this is because of new firewall restrictions on s400 or on our machines. >can I upload a couple of the area files >somewhere for you to look into? Would that be needed? Our systems are basically locked down, so we don't allow files to be FTPed to us. Can you put the data on a machine that I can FTP from? If so, I will take a look at the images as soon as possible and give you my impression of their quality. >Sincerely , Cheers, Tom -- NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publically available through the web.

I will mail you the deatils as soon as I get back to Kalamazoo(WMU). Sometimes, We have network problems in our school causing the access to the server to be restricted. On week days, our SYSADMIN of WMU monitors the problem and resolves it. But Since the problem occured on a weekend ( Friday evening !!! ), may be he is not aware of the problem. I have sent him an Email about it. Hope he sets this right on Monday morning. But as such there is not firewall that is blocking incomming requests. Thank you for the reply though. -- Sincerely , Karthik Samudram Jayaraman
