Hi Greg, re: > I found this page today while wandering around JMA site: > > http://mscweb.kishou.go.jp/operation/status/mtsat.htm > > Near the bottom is a table titled "Annual Schedule" which > makes it look like they are swapping satellites with MTSAT-1R running most of > the time. > Very odd. According to the schedule it looks like they just swapped back to > MTSAT 1R on > October 22. They are supposed to switch to MTSAT 2 on Dec 19th. OK, this fits with the insight that SSEC provided. It looks like JMA website indication that MTSAT-2 is the operational satellite is not quite correct. re: > My IMGLIST output for MTS looks like: > > xtuser@lightning:~/mcidas$ imglist.k MTS/MTGLOB04I4.0 FORM=ALL > Image file directory listing for:MTS/MTGLOB04I4 > Pos Satellite/ Date Time Center Res (km) Image_Size > sensor Lat Lon Lat Lon > --- ------------- ------------ -------- ---- ---- ----- ----- ------------ > 3 MTSAT-1R 31 OCT 13304 19:30:00 0 -140 > Band: 4 6.75 um IR Mid-level Water Vapor 4.02 3.99 2750 x 2752 > proj: 0 created: 2013304 195509 memo: MTSAT data from HRIT > type:MTST cal type:RAW > offsets: data= 28928 navigation= 256 calibration= 2816 auxiliary= 0 > doc length: 0 cal length: 0 lev length: 0 PREFIX= 0 > valcod: 0 zcor: 1 avg-smp: N > start yyddd: 2013304 start time:193000 start scan: 0 > lcor: 1 ecor: 1 bytes per pixel: 2 ss: 84 > Resolution Factors (base=1): Line= 4.0 Element= 4.0 > imglist.k: done OK. The fact that the central longitude is 140E shows that the image really is from MTSAT-1R (according to the guidance we received from SSEC). So, it looks like everything is OK, no?
