Hi Carol, re: > Is there a way to plot feet instead of meters for the GOES-16 L2 cloud top > height product? I don't see anything in SU, IMGDISP, or IMGREMAP that > suggests converting units. You can create a stretch table that the level as FT instead of M. It doesn't covert the unit in the calibration, however. re: > As a note, meters is what is available via IMGPROBE. Yup. What is being returned is the unit suggested/mandated in the ICD that describes the product. From the calibration include file (abincalb.inc), the mapping between BRIT and CTH [M] is: 0 - 0 19812 - 255 Given this, the mapping between BRIT and CTH [FT] would be: 0 - 0 65000 - 255 So, the stretch table should be created using: SU INI L2-CTH X FT SU MAKE L2-CTH 0 65000 0 255 List out the stretch table using 'SU TABLE': SU TABLE L2-CTH BREAKPOINTS STORED IN TABLE : L2-CTH.ST INPUT OUTPUT ----- ------ 0 0 65000 255 CALIBRATION TYPE : CALIBRATION UNITS : FT BAND NUMBER : -1 INTERPOLATION TYPE: LIN SU: DONE Notice that I did not specify the 'type' in the 'SU INI name type unit' invocation. This means that the stretch will work with any calibration type. Please give this a try and let me know if it is what you are looking for.
