NOAA WX decoding issue

[Freemor]

Do you know if it possible to use your saved raw file and my raw files and compose them together? Here are my 2 good ones from today if you would try it and see if they compose. I zipped the 2 raw images and uploaded them here....2 raw files

I think you would have to move your west boundary in the composite settings. mine is -130.0

you can just load the raw file ( File -> Load raw image) or goto the raw image tab and click on the raw image and then hit "auto process" to process it again.

Right, I was curious if my raw files would compose with yours to make a larger map. That is if you have any raw images from today. It looks like your images were possibly from Oct 28. Do they have to be from the same day? I'd like to combine many days and use the best looking ones to make it as large as possible.

 

[Freemor]

It would if I had captures from today. Definitely an idea worth playing with on a day when we both have the time

 

[Freemor]

I'll capture a couple of passes and put the RAW caps online today so you can try making a large composite

 

[Freemor]

first pass is up @ Index of /~freemor/shared_files/noaa/
I'll drop the other passes in there as they come in

 

[Freemor]

Ok. last of this mornings passes are now up. Next pass not for 7 hours and I'll be busy with other things then.

Looking forward to what you can stitch together.

Those look great but I'm having trouble getting them to compose with mine, probably due to being taken on different days. Any idea to fool the program into thinking they are a different date? I imagine it is embedded data in the image, though. Sorry I didn't check back here sooner, I took a couple days away from NOAA to learn to work Satellites with 2 HTs...Tevel specifically.

Fudging the date wouldn't work as the program uses the Kepler data to know that slice the satellite is looking at which it need to know to put the map overlays in the right place and know how to stitch them together. saying that the pics were from another date would probably make a mess. Still might be fun to try but I don't know what wxtoimg uses to determing the date of the pic. The filename? ctime? mtime? or somtehing in the metedata of the PNG?
