SATAID (Satellite Animation and Interactive Diagnosis)
Originally developed by JMA’s MSC as an application
software to display satellite imagery and NWP data for
training purposes
Provided to NMHSs as a JMA’s contribution to WMOCGMS Virtual Laboratory for Training in Satellite
Meteorology (VL).
Today, used also as an operational tool for daily weather
analysis including tropical cyclone monitoring at JMA’s HQ
and local offices

Freely available to NMHSs and easy to install

Armed with lots of functions
4
What? SATAID? (2)

The core of SATAID system is GMSLPW (GMS Loop
for Windows) and LRITAPL (SATAID menu program)

GMSLPW is a viewer program to display satellite
imagery and other data

LRITAPL is a menu program to prepare various data
for GMSLPW

GMSLPD is an extended version of GMSLPW with
specialized functions for Dvorak analysis
5
What? SATAID? (3)
With GMSLPD, you can……

Display (and overlay) satellite imagery and
NWP data (and various observations i.e. SYNOP, SHIP, TEMP,
Radar, Wind Profiler, QuikSCAT etc. if its format prepared)



Use many functions: vertical cross-sectional
chart, time-series chart, digital data output
to CSV file......
Customize and draw as you like
Save as a file including a package of all data,
your drawing and comments, which will be
useful for training and case study

Where do you get SATAID data? (2)
1. LRITAPL


Extract NWP data
(in GRIB format)
and satellite
imagery (in
McIDAS, LRIT,
HRIT format) and
make SATAID
formatted data
Automatically start
GMSLPW and
update the data
routinely
13
Where do you get SATAID data? (2’)


Select "Server" from option menu
Confirm that the image server name is
www3.bom.gov.au, port number 50005, satellite
GMS5, GOES9, MTSAT1 or FY2, and compression
is OFF
(port number 50007 for MTSAT1, 50008 for FY2)

Confirm that NWP server name is
ddb.kishou.go.jp and port number is 80

2. WIS Server
As a WIS prototype
service, JMA prepares
website providing
SATAID data
ID and password
required (provided to
each NMHS)
Go to JMA WIS prototype website at
https://ds.data.jma.go.jp/fcd/wis/
