Description
WINDCO television equipment (10). McIDAS First Generation, user at the WINDCO terminal.
Dr. Verner Suomi obtained funding from NASA and NOAA to implement a proof-of concept system dedicated to measuring and visualizing cloud drift winds. The new computer system had to allow the user to specify the image coordinates of a cloud in at least three successive images. Since the digital images were stored on computer tape, a method was required to map and display coordinates to and from tape. The proof-of-concept system used to demonstrate winds processing was called WINDCO (Lazzara, 1999). WINDCO was a precursor to the Man computer Interactive Data Access System (McIDAS).
