- The site is vmd.cso.uiuc.edu. Once you ftp to this site, cd to directory
- "wx" and set the mode to "binary". The latest weather satellite gifs in
- high resolution are stored in the files "cvis.gif" and "cir.gif" (visual
- band and infrared band images, respectively. Lower resolution images
- from the recent (i.e. 24 hr or so) past are stored in the files
- "cvMMDDZZ.gif" and "ciMMDDZZ.gif" where MM is the month, DD is the date
- and ZZ is the hour in UTC. Furthermore, composite surface analysis and
- radar images are stored in the files "saMMDDZZ.gif".
