I've gotten to the point where I would like to have access to higher quality satellite imagery. This is the current link I use:
http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/get-g...=800&width=1000
In that nasty mess, I change values to get it to spit out other things, like different latitude/longitudes, IR, with or without lines, and so-on. But at the end of the day, they're still highly-compressed .jpegs that I can't really do a whole lot with. Seeing as how the pictures from that link must be built from some source, I'd like to know if outsiders have access to that data, and what it might take to read it. I stumbled upon some really large .tif files on that site a long time ago. Can't remember where now; d'oh! They needed treatment, but they were definitely a step in the right direction. If I know where to get those source images, I may be able to throw together a viewing client. I suspect I'm not the only one here who's looked into this, so I welcome your comments.
