Hello,
I have AREA files of satellite imagery from the GOES imager and sounder. When I
load the images in IDV I get a range of values from 3680-8000 (for Imager
channel 2)and 8864-17184 (for channel 4 file). This is obviously not brightness
temperature, but I can not find any clear documentation about what the units of
these values are or how to convert them to brightness temperature. Can I do the
conversion in IDV?
Also, is there a way to find individual pixel values? i.e. in AWIPS you can
mouse over and image and a little tag pops up with the value of the pixel
you're hovering over. Is there an analogous feature in IDV?
Thank you,
