THE ESMR GIF FILES:


A series of GIF images which are 256 color pictures of the data,
made from screenshots of the data viewing program. The GIF images are
labelled with the Julian Day, hour and minute that the data starts, in
the form DDDHHMM.GIF. 

The GIFs are 800x600, and can be viewed with any image viewing
application, on any platform. If you do transfer the files to another
platform, remember to transfer them in binary (8-bit) format. 

There are GIF images for all of the high-priority convection legs and
days specified by Drs. Ed Zipser, Barry Nolan, and others at the
August 3-6 TOGA COARE conference in San Diego.
