>From: Mark Chambers <address@hidden> >Organization: Universal Weather >Keywords: 199909091334.HAA26569 Unidata McIDAS-X NOAAPORT NIDS topography Mark, >Thank you for your prompt response concerning my NIDS question and how you >guys ingest that data into McIDAS. Since your last note, and since I said that the changes to my NIDS servers should be trivial, I have added support for the unencrypted NOAAPORT NIDS products to my servers. The changes were pretty trivial as I had expected. I will be showing this stuff as my site presentation at the upcoming MUG meeting in Madison. >I had another question. I wanted to know how you do your topo maps. We have a 9 MB topography image of the world (Mercator projection) from which we create special views using IMGREMAP. >Is that a dataset that I could get? Sure. I just stuck it out in the pub/mcidas directory that is accessible by anonymous FTP from our FTP server ftp.unidata.ucar.edu. The file to grab in binary mode is AREA9000. >I not looking to repackaging or reselling >the topo data itself in anyway. I create a suite of products with McIDAS >and other inhouse developed applications to support some of our customers. No problem. The topography image file is not copyrighted material. >Thanks for your help. You are welcome. >-- >Mark Chambers >Impact Weather, Manager >Universal Weather >8787 Tallyho >Houston, TX 77061 >Phone: 713-944-1622 ext 2204 >FAX: 713-943-4645 >Email: address@hidden Tom -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ * Tom Yoksas UCAR Unidata Program * * (303) 497-8642 (last resort) P.O.
