[gradsusr] GOES satellite images

[Jennifer Adams]

Well, it depends on the format of the GOES data. If it's on a regular  
grid, you can probably get GrADS to read it, and then overlaying  
contours is very straightforward. If all you have are images, then you  
can't import those into GrADS and you have to merge them with a  
contour plot using external utilities. getting the domains lined up  
will be tricky. The Image Magic suite has some pretty useful tools for  
merging two images files. You can output the contour plot with a  
transparent color (look at the pritim doc) so that the background  
satellite image will show through.
