McIDAS-V can display geostationary and polar orbiting satellite data from around the world. Users can interrogate individual pixels from multi and hyperspectral satellite data, create a scatter analysis of two fields, and plot time series. Channel differences can be computed for RGB, NDVI, or other derived products. Overlaying images from multiple satellites allows for easy creation of composites, and the powerful remapping capabilities make integrating satellite data with other meteorological and geophysical data simple for even the novice user.<\/p>\n

The examples below demonstrate some of the capabilities of McIDAS-V with satellite data. Click on the image to view a larger version. If applicable, a link to the example bundle is also provided for interactive use in McIDAS-V.<\/p>\n
