Hi Kwan, re: > I am puzzled. Are the colors on these images not produced using an > enhancement table at all? For the RGB images like the one depicted in the following URL, the answer is no: http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis/online/images/latest_hi_res/himawari-8/full_disk_ahi_true_color.jpg For the images like a couple show as links in the following URL, the answer is yes: http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis/online/himawari-8.asp American Samoa Band 13 (10.4 µm) http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis/online/images/latest/himawari-8/himawari-8_band_13_sector_07.gif The RGB images are created, for instance, by driving the red gun with an image that measured in the visible red portion of the spectrum; the green gun driven by an image in the visible green portion of the spectrum; and the blue gun driven by an image in the visible blue portion of the spectrum. I am attaching a pseudo-true color image created by the IDV from MSG 10 imagery for an example (note that I took no pains to make a high resolution RGB composite, so the example looks crude). > Kwan > > address@hidden> wrote: > > > Hi Kwan, > > > > re: > > > So, do you know if these Himawari Geocolor images at Colorado States > > > created using McIDAS? > > > > > > http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis/online/himawari-8.asp > > > > Some of the images shown on this page were definitely produced with > > McIDAS-X. > > > > re: > > > > > http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis/online/images/latest_hi_res/himawari-8/full_disk_ahi_true_color.jpg > > > > It is hard to tell if this image was created with McIDAS-X, McIDAS-V or > > some > > other software package.
