The GMS-5 satellite provides one visible image channel and three IR channels. The visible channel provides a 1.25-km-resolution image; the IR channels have a resolution of 5 km and provide a split window image and a water vapor image. The SDI ingestor acquires this data and produces two McIDAS AREAs per ingest, a visible AREA, and a 3-channel IR AREA. The navigation and calibration for these AREAs are taken from the signal telemetry in accordance with JMA documentation.
