IDV 5.0 displays these images fine (be sure to specify that they should be
opened as type: “McIDAS AREA files”). Map backgrounds appear correctly.
I can also confirm that GEMPAK/NMAP2 7.3 can display the images ok, but map
backgrounds do not appear.

Hi Evan,
I also can't view the image on IDV(still using 4.1...upgrading to 5.0 is on the
list of "tasks to do"), but it's viewable on Gempak's nmap2(using 6.10). The
only thing I've noticed since we started ingesting the files(IR and WV) is that
nmap doesn't plot a geographic background nor can I zoom in on any particular
spot on the picture. Perhaps the navigation information within the file is
different from Mcidas area files and gini image files.
I've attached the gif image(with IR color enhancement) from nmap2.

Hi all,
Has anyone started ingesting the new SSEC Global IR composite imagery (new Apr
2014)?
Global Rectilinear Thermal Infrared composite 20 km PNGA ★ new product
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/entry/updates_to_unidata_idd_fnexrad
Details of updated / new files:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/datastream.html
I added the example pqact entry:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/rtimages_pqact.html#GLOBAL-IR
The resulting files (sample attached - apologies for the file size) are coming
up garbled when loaded into the IDV / GEMPAK. Has anyone had success ingesting
the data? I wasn’t sure whether this was an issue with the incoming data, the
pqact entry, perhaps the pnga2area decoder, or just user error.
Thanks,
Evan Lowery
