We
present a set of historically relevant images, all produced
with SSECs flagship software, the Man computer Interactive
Data Access System, McIDAS. The various sets include examples
of all McIDAS image production capabilities for a specific
developmental stage of the system, the third generation McIDAS,
referred to as “the meteorologist’s dream machine” (see The
Man computer Interactive Data Access System: 25 Years of Interactive
Processing by M. Lazzara et al.). These “McIDAS Greatest
Hits” were compiled in 1995 by Matthew Lazzara
and John Mecikalski, but scores of computer programmers,
testers, engineers, technicians and managers have created
the code and
architecture of McIDAS that make possible these images and
all the myriad capabilities of McIDAS. The person listed with
each image is a contact person who can talk about that
particular image.

Brunner produced this exhibit. Send questions and comments to SSEC's Public Information Officer.
