Summary
Abstract: The Climate Prediction Center/NCEP/NWS is now making available via anonymous ftp (in
digital form) globally-merged (60N-60S) pixel-resolution IR brightness temperature
data (equivalent blackbody temps), merged from all available geostationary satellites
(GOES-8/10, METEOSAT-7/5 & GMS). The availability of data from METEOSAT-5, which is
located at 63E at the present time, ... View entire text
