[gradsusr] Plotting Satellite Data

[Meredith Croke]

I have tried IDV, however I want to automate the process-which I don't think IDV can do.  Basically I want to generate a satellite image with a clear background, so it can be overlaid on my own basemap.

Thanks,
Meredith

Hi Meredith,

Have you tried with IDV ?

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/

"Directly reads netCDF, Vis5D, McIDAS AREA and map (OUTL*) files, NEXRAD Level II and III radar data, ESRI Shapefiles, and Arc/Info ASCIIGRID files. Provides access to other data formats (e.g., GINI, NEXRAD Level III, HDF) through the Abstract Data Distribution Environment (ADDE) and OPeNDAP/DODS protocols".

Best regards

Hernán

gini is a completely different format from GRIB

Does anyone know if I use GrADS to plot the satellite data available here: ftp://ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/images/satellite/  If not is there another FTP site real-time satellite data can be downloaded and easily plotted?

Thanks,
Meredith
