and the Northern
Hemisphere Topographic areafile included with the Gempak5.2.1/NAWIPS
distribution. AREA files including GOES-8 and GOES-9 images
are specified with the SATFIL variable, and PROJ = sat. NIDS
and NOWrad radar images may be used as backdrops using the
RADFIL variable, and PROJ = rad.

Composite Images
Topographic bases can be composited with satellite imagery
in MCIDAS to produce complex image bases. Here is
an MPEG annimation of hourly sea level pressure data
over infrared satellite imagery and the topographic
base map. Surface observations are decoded with
SATOGEM,
and objectively analyzed with OABSFC
. GOES 8 infrared imagery is thresholded
at -10C.
