Welcome to the McIDAS Website!
In existence since 1973, McIDAS (Man computer Interactive Data
Access System) is a suite of sophisticated software packages
that perform a wide variety of functions with satellite imagery,
observational reports, numerical forecasts, and other geophysical
data. Those functions include displaying, analyzing, interpreting,
acquiring and managing the data. [

McIDAS-X is expected to be supported for the current GOES GVAR and upcoming GOES-R satellite series (currently estimated as being in service until 2036), with no end date in sight.
This website, administered by McIDAS
