I put this routine together to read the NOAA-15 Level 1B 10-bit files from
SAA. I used it to help create this image:

http://www.cira.colostate.edu/special/csuidl/N15HRPT3A.htm

Warning - very computer intensive. Something I hope to improve on later.

If anyone makes any improvements, be should to let me know.

;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;
; OpenR, unit, filename, /GET_LUN, /SWAP_ENDIAN ! Assuming read on PC.
;
; IF ( ReadKLM1B(unit, ARSstr, HEADstr, LinePre, LineSuf, L1BImage ) )
THEN BEGIN
; PRINT, ' Read >', filename,'...'
; ENDIF ELSE BEGIN
; PRINT, ' Trouble with reading -', filename, '...'
; ENDELSE
;
; Close, unit
; Free_Lun, unit
;
; INPUTS:
; unit - file unit number
;
; OUTPUTS:
; ARSstr - Structure - Archive Retrieval System Record
; HEADstr - Structure - Image header information
; LinePre - Structure - Line prefix information
; LineSuf - Structure - Line suffix information
; L1Bimage - imager - 3-D array with 10-bit image data from 5 channels
( channel, width, length )
;
;
; SIDE EFFECTS:
; Works with 16-bit Level 1B files from the Satellite Active Archive
with imagery
; from NOAA-15 ( NOAA-KLM series ) only.

Keep in mind that SeaDAS is not entirely written in IDL. I'd say perhaps
25% of it is. The rest is C, and FORTRAN. It's also written only for SGI
and Sun.

ENVI will handle NOAA DMSP formats. Is that the same as what you're after?

There is a program written in IDL called SEADAS which process satellite
images. You can chek for it at the following URL address:
http://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov

This is what it says from the FAQ:
Can SeaDAS handle CZCS or AVHRR data ?

The current version of SeaDAS can only process SeaWiFS, OCTS and
CZCS data. SeaDAS can display (but not process) AVHRR SST data.
In the future, SeaDAS may include the capability to process AVHRR
data as well as other satellite image data (i.e. MODIS).
