McIDAS-V displays weather satellite (including hyperspectral) and other geophysical data in 2- and 3-dimensions. McIDAS-V can also analyze and manipulate the data with its powerful mathematical functions. McIDAS-V is built on SSEC\u2019s VisAD and Unidata\u2019s IDV libraries, with the functionality of SSEC\u2019s HYDRA software integrated into McIDAS-V for viewing and analyzing hyperspectral satellite data.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Visit the links below for additional information about McIDAS-V.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/mcidas\/software\/v\/capabilities\/\">Sample Capabilities<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/mcidas\/software\/v\/download\/sysreqs\/\">System Requirements<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/mcidas\/software\/v\/doc\/\">Documentation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/mcidas\/software\/v\/download\/\">Download<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssec.wisc.edu\/mcidas\/forums\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">McIDAS-V Support Forums<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>McIDAS-V is a free, open source, visualization and data analysis software package that is the next generation in SSEC&#8217;s 50 year history of sophisticated McIDAS software packages.
