Hi, re: > Just checking I have no missed any mail > Is there any progress? Well, yes and no. I had a Meet with the primary developer of the ADDE WARC server code yesterday for _several_ hours, and we found a number of things that were needed to improve the serving of the HimawariCAST images from JMA, and I stared implementing them immediately after the Meet. That's the good news. The bad news is the changes made to the HRIT images that you noted are being distributed in EUMETCAST do not conform to the HRIT documentation from JMA, so proceeding is more of a "feel your way" exercise than one guided by "official" documentation. This is the reason that I asked you in a previous email if you knew of documentation for the EUMETCAST- delivered Himawari HRIT images. The biggest thing that I did not see in the JMA HRIT documentation was any sort of a value in any of the image headers (there can be several) that would allow for easy identification of an image being in the JMA documented format versus what you have indicated are being distributed in EUMETCAST. So, the first question to you is: Do you know where the documentation for the EUMETAST Himawari HRIT format can be found? If yes, can you send me the URL for the document? The second thing is a request for more example images (bands) that were distributed in EUMETCAST. You provided band 7 and 8 images, and those have been useful, but it is very important to get a band 3 (VIS) image, and it would be most useful to get images for all of the bands and coverages that are being distributed in EUMETCAST. I did try to find a repository for the images that I need/want, but none of my searching revealed a site where such images could be downloaded freely. Aside: For my testing, I downloaded example Himawari HRIT images for all bands from JMA, and the existing McIDAS WARC ADDE code serves all of those images correctly *except the high resolution band 7 image* which was never supported by UWisc/SSEC. I am working on adding support to the WARC server for the high resolution band 7 imagery right now. So where things stand now are that I will not be able to make fast progress on adding support for the Himawari HRIT images that are being distributed in EUMETCAST until I have a) more images to use for testing and b) until I can get documentation that is specific to the EUMETCAST-distributed images. I can make progress without the documentation, but it will be much slower than if I had the documentation.
