Hi Greg,
I sent an inquiry off to SSEC regarding your MTSAT question yesterday
and received the following answer last evening:
I suspect that the NESDIS server is not running a current version of the
MTSAT ADDE server. The fix for SS is in 2010.1 and later.
Module: mtstaget2.for.
I seem to recall that the ingested MTSAT segment files do not contain
the information on which satellite, so we determine it this way:
MTSAT 1R has a SUBLON = 140
MTSAT 2 has a SUBLON = 145 (as of 03/2010)
A quick check of the 6.75 um water vapor imagery in the PUB dataset on
the SATEPS ADDE server SATEPSANONE.NESDIS.NOAA.GOV shows that the image
labeled as MTSAT-1R should be MTSAT-1R according to the guidance
that SSEC provided:
DATALOC ADD PUB SATEPSANONE.NESDIS.NOAA.GOV
IMGLIST PUB/MTGLOB04I4 FORM=ALL
Image file directory listing for:PUB/MTGLOB04I4
Pos Satellite/ Date Time Center Res (km) Image_Size

This would seem to indicate that MTSAT-1R is, in fact, the operational
satellite and MTSAT-2 is not. Or, it indicates that SATEPS only has
the MTSAT-1R data.
What do similar IMGLIST listings show for the images in the MTS dataset?
Cheers,
Tom
