HRPT Reader v2.5.8.536

HRPT Reader v2.5.8.536 info: What is HRPT? It is the basic sensor data that is transmitted at reduced resolution as APT data from NOAA polar orbiting weather satellites. There is approximately ten times the resolution in HRPT data as there is in the APT data.
This program reads HRPT files in the NOAA Level 1B, TimeStep, SSB/Orbit, L1F and NOAA95 formats, amongst others. From the SAA (Satellite Active Archive - now CLASS) it can read LAC, GAC and HRPT data formats. The program will allow you to play with making false colour images by combining the five or more available channels into red, green, and blue or, if you prefer, by taking one of the visible channels as brightness and one of the IR channels as colour. When enough channels are available, you can extract water vapour and vegetation data. You can save what you create, and you can also save an APT-size image which may be useful as a thumbnail when compressed to JPEG. The program attempts to handle missing bits (which create white or black marks on the image), but in all honesty you would be better off buying a copy of Paint Shop Pro to do this.
