HDF Reader for Feng Yun-2 Imagery

China's Feng Yun 2C and Feng Yun 2D geostationary Earth observation satellites provide five channels of half-hourly imagery at a resolution of 4 km/pixel. They also provide a high-resolution, 1 km/pixel, visible image.

These images (and also MTSAT-1R ones) are packed in Heirarchical Data Format (HDF) files which can be downloaded from the China Satellite Data Service Center (CSDSC) at

http://satellite/cma.gov.cn/eng/

You have to register for the basic service first (which does not allow you to download the 230 MB HDF files) and then e-mail CSDSC at

dataserver@nsmc.cma.gov.cn

with a request to upgrade your subscription. The Help file in HDF Reader explains how to do this.

There is no charge for this service.
