> Hi Julien, > > You should be able to see a color contour plot with the auroral oval at > the poles. I can get the globe map and world map but no data plotted on > those maps. Ben is using the same bundle pointing to the same data but > he is plotting on a different machine. Our machines are pretty similar > except his is a newer 64 bit machine and mine is an older 32 bit > machine. We are both pointing to the same IDV executable located in a > common directory. We thought we had some permission problems but it > turns out the java won't run on a 32 bit machine maybe because it was > built on a 64 bit machine? So, I had to log into a local shared 64 bit > machine to get the java, and IDV, to run. Let me know if you were able > to get the auroral plots or not. If you can, then I have something > particular to my setup I need to look into. > > Thanks, According to Joe's email, his problem has been solved.
