Gateway File ServicesSSM/I Satellite Product FilesIntroductionThe U.S. National Weather Service provides anonymous FTP access to files containing SSM/I imagery products generated from polar obit satellites with id's of F13, F14, or F15. The files do not have the standard WMO abbreviated heading enveloping the products. The most current set of products are kept on the server. All archive sources must be through NESDIS's Satellite Active Archive. The server internal structure for subdirectory names and file names are taken from the documented OSO File Name Standards. The naming conventions for the subdirectories and files are described in the document titled: File and Directory Name Standards. The data is available at the NWS Telecommunication Gateway on the server ftp://ptgftp.nws.noaa.gov via anonymous FTP. AvailabilityThe data can be obtained through standard FTP. By checking the date/time of the files on the server you will be able to maintain a user's stat file on when the next set of products to FTP are available. There are 3 product types for each satellite provided on the server. The data will be available, as soon as possible, after delivery by the NESDIS "CEMSCS" servers. These products are created on DoD servers and must be delivered to NESDIS before becoming available on the Gateway servers.
