Currently, the following data types are supported by IVICS and GSF:
AVHRR LAC/GAC (up to NOAA-14)
MODIS Airborne
Sensor (MAS) - 50 channel variety
VIRS
MODIS 1KM (DAAC
processed 39 channel, DAAC processed subsetted 19 channel, Direct
Broadcast)
ASTER (at 15m 30m and 90m resolution)
CloudVis (NASA
Langley)
GOES McIdas (experimental)
LANDSAT TM NLAPS and GEOTIFF (requires NLAPS header)
Plans are underway to expand support for GOES, and LANDSAT TM.
In order to support all of these disparate data formats, a common data format was developed. The Generalized Satellite Format (GSF) Library provides an interface to convert any satellite data to GSF format which can be displayed and manipulated in IVICS.
