Owen,

Now this is a quick response to an email :-)

>Thank you for looking into the GMS-5 data availability at ABoM.

No problem.

Good planning.

Actually, yes.  I just tried to contact the server down at the BoM and
it is not there (at least, I can't get to it through ADDE and can't find
it through a traceroute).  This occasionally happens, and at other times
we get very good connections for an extended period of time.

I will let you know when I can get something working.  Which band(s) are
you interested in?

>Thanks again,

Later...

Tom

Hi Tom,

I would like to have the IR and WV imagery from GMS-5.
In case you were wondering SSEC will charge approx. $3000 for one month of
access to these hourly data.
