Ian Deans
The previous mail I sent should of course read ---- The new NPP sounder data is displaying perfectly etc. Telephone call interrupted preparation.
Thanks Ian.

Francis,

Many thanks for the update. The new NPP is displaying perfectly, but as it is coming in at times out of order, it is better to leave it for a few hours and then display it without gaps. I shall be checking other data as well, but at the moment I cannot spend much time on my hobby due to caring duties. Regards Ian.

They includes extensive updates to the BUFR tables, which hopefully will also allow it to handle a greater range of BUFR data. For the first time, I also have put up versions of it for Linux.

Re: Cold anomaly in NE Portugal
Are you converting the data into an imprecise data type (such as 8bit int)?
Depending on the scaling you apply it could be that the values in that region (~350K) are too high for the data type and so 'roll over' into a very low value. This happens to us occasionally when calculating reflectance in the twilight region. /random guess Cheers, Simon ===================================== Simon, Likely the guys are using the images from the MSG Data Manager software. The thermal scaling applied to the images avoids wrap-around artefacts such as you mention.

Re: Cold anomaly in NE Portugal
Nick,
Unless you are using an inverted palette, black on a IR image translates into hot, not cold. It looks to me as a small hot spot, probably a fire as suggested by Terence, but it is odd that it shows up best in Ch4 and much less so in Ch9. Best regards - Alan S ================================ It's not really "odd". Channel 4 is most sensitive in the 3-5 um waveband, corresponding to temperatures around 600K (~327C) as found in fires. Channel 10 is optimised for radiation at 300K (~27C), that of the natural ground around us. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation Note that one issue with channel 4 is that there is also significant reflected solar radiation from the Earth in that waveband, so that the image differs between day and night. Black hot is often used for thermal images, as that makes the colder clouds show up in white. Channel 4 is used for fire detection, perhaps using channel 10 as a reference to the expected background temperature so that hotspots can be detected. I hope no-one has been injured in the fires.

Cold anomaly in NE Portugal
nick <dctower@...>
Evening all,
Any one else see the _very_ cold (black) area in NE Portugal in the last few IR images? Very obvious in Channel 4 from about 18:30 to 19:15? Also on several other wave-lengths but not so obvious. Any ideas as to what/why? Regards Nick

Yes I did know that, it's just that I think I'm on Hotbird but I can't find any sign of a signal just to the west of it but there is another strong signal to the east of it (Astra 19 deg?) I have video now so I should find out tomorrow (no time to play tonight) Tony.

Sorry David, I didn't pose my question very well. I wondered if the signal strength/quality is derived from the digital stream as I note that the Hotbird digital stream on 11977 MHz is a different symbol rate & FEC. I have an 80cm dish to a Skystar 2 internal card and Eumetcast V4 software. PC is a 2.6 GHz Celeron running XP SP3 and I'm in IO51dn I haven't tried video as I didn't load the TV software, but I suppose that would immediately tell me which satellite I'm on. I'll maybe try that later. 73, Tony

Re: No network
Hi David.
No I'm not sure I have the dish correctly pointed, that was the gist my question ... is it possible to get an on screen signal strength with those parameters from Hotbird ? If you can, then I'm probably on Hotbird and need to play with the dish some more. If you can't then I can lock the dish and look for the problem indoors. 73, Tony. ======================================= With an 85 cm dish here in Scotland, and one I suspect isn't 100% correctly aligned, I get 65% quality and 8.5 dB (varying) SNR. That's on a SkyStar 2.6D card on a Windows XP PC, 4.4.1 drivers. Signal strength graph here: http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/performance_eumetcast-snr.php You may be nearer the edge of the footprint, and/or have a poorer alignment, and your figures don't then seem unreasonable. In southern England I would expect higher. Sometimes the network name does come up blank, so that's no indication. If you are using a DVB World USB box with 64-bit drivers, there are other issues which appear to allow video through but not data, hence my question about which receiver and operating system you have. 73, David -- SatSignal Software - Quality software written to your requirements Web: http://www.satsignal.eu Email: david-taylor@blueyonder.co.uk

Re: No network
Hi the group
After an absence of several years I am trying to get my system up and running again. So far without success I hasten to add and was wondering if I am on the wrong satellite. I have loaded the new software and on "Transponder Status" I have Eurobird 9 with transponder 11977 MHz, symbol rate 27500, FEC 3/4 and horizontal pol. Without a final tweak I have sig quality of 50% and a SNR of 6.0 My problem is that the Network box says "Acquiring" for a few seconds and then says "No Information" and no data and a yellow T Is it possible to get a signal on Hotbird using those parameters ? Or am I doing something wrong ? ============================================ Tony, The parameters look correct, but are you sure the dish is correctly pointed? Have you set up the required PIDs? What receiver are you using? What operating system?
