As far as we know, there are no full disk images in the NOAAPort
broadcast.

>If possible could you point me at some documents.

The standard reference for NOAAPort imagery is:

Interface Control Document for
AWIPS - National Environmental Satellite, Data and
Information Service (NESDIS)

AA0130008 CH-4
June 12, 2002

Nice page.

In case you are interested:

All of the imagery in the NOAAPort broadcast is made available on a
variety of Unidata Community member data servers.  ADDE-enabled client
applications (e.g., McIDAS-X, Unidata IDV, UW/SSEC McIDAS-V) can
transparently access the data from these servers.  In addition to
NOAAPort, NOAA makes imagery from MTSAT, FY2C, Meteosat-9 (6-hourly
only), GOES-East and GOES-West available via ADDE on a publically
accessible server that they operate.  A (not comprehensive) list of
publically accessible ADDE servers is available at:

Unidata HomePage

Cheers,

Hi Tom,

Many thanks for the quick reply.
Now we don't need to bang our heads in the monitor searching for the
Full Disk images in the NOAAPort broadcast stream.

The McIDAS ADDE server page is most interesting. We'll run some tests
on xmas holiday.
