38. What is SATAID? SATAID (Satellite Animation and Interactive Diagnosis)
Originally developed by JMA’s MSC (Meteorological Satellite Center) as an application software to display satellite imagery and NWP data for training purposes
Provided to NMHSs as a JMA’s contribution to WMO-CGMS 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
Equipped with lots of functions
CGMS: Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites

39. SATAID software (GMSLPD for Windows)

40. What is SATAID? With GMSLPD, you can……
Display (and overlay) satellite imagery and NWP data (and various observations i.e. SYNOP, SHIP, TEMP, Radar, Wind Profiler, ASCAT etc. if its format prepared)
Use many functions: vertical cross-sectional chart, time-series chart, digital data output to CSV file......
Save as a file including a package of all data, your drawings and comments, which will be useful for trainings and case study archives
Analyze position and intensity of tropical cyclones

41. SATAID Service
JMA SATAID Service has been provided as WIS DAR since December 2011.
ID and password required (provided to each NMHS)
DAR: Data Discovery, Access and Retrieval 41
