Software

CIMSS has developed a variety of software packages to be shared with the broader scientific community in an effort to assist others in their work and research.

Educational Applets
Highly interactive teaching and training activities that allow users to explore physical processes such as tornadoes, air density effects on baseballs, thunderstorms snowflake crystals (and more!) all on a computer screen.

IAPP (International ATOVS Processing Package)
IAPP is a processing package designed to retrieve atmospheric temperature and moisture profiles, total ozone and other parameters in both clear and cloudy atmospheres from ATOVS radiance measurements.

IMAPP (International MODIS/AIRS Processing Package)
IMAPP allows ground stations capable of receiving EOS direct broadcast to create products.

McIDAS
Man computer Interactive Data Access System for visualization and manipulation of atmospheric data

Polar Remote Sensing Software
Software products for polar research (CASPR, Streamer, FluxNet)

Reusable Content Objects
Educational Java applets developed for the Satellite Observations in Science Education (SOSE) project

VISITview
A teletraining and real-time collaboration tool developed for the National Weather Service VISIT program to meet the needs of science training of their forecasters
