Default Meteosat - loss of satpics


"Would it be possible for members of uk.sci.weather as a bona fide
science group to club together and get a licence for Meteosat Second
Generation images? I seem to recall that the licence fee for an
academic body is around 10,000 euros per year. Divide that by say 200
subscribers and it works out at £30 each. Some password system, or
e-mail list to subscribers, would ensure that the satellite images
would only be available to those who have paid"


Hi Jack,
that sounds a good idea but I was hoping that the improvements to the Met
Office Aviation Briefing service this year would include 15 min MSG data at
the current subscription price.
Any chance Jon?
best regards,
Alan
