20041210: McIDAS and the NASA DAAC

Hi all,

I've been downloading a lot of Level 1B MODIS data from the NASA DAAC ftp 
site.  I'm just wondering if there's a way to use McIDAS and the DSSERVE 
command to mount the DAAC ftp site into McIDAS, and do the channel and 
spatial sub-setting directly from there, rather than downloading the 327 MB 
files and *then* doing the subsetting?

thanks,

Hi Andrew,

My understanding is that this would be possible if the other site ran McIDAS
and were willing to serve the data to you. IE they would then have a DSSERVE
entry on their mcadde account and you would DATALOC to that dataset/machine

At the 2004 MUG meeting, Dave Santek discussed the possibility of
non-McIDAS sites using ADDE to serve data without having a full McIDAS
installation. Perhaps the MODIS DAAC would be a candidate for this
service?

Andrew & all,

We do have ADDE servers at the DAAC for access to near real-time data 
[the last few days]. But, they may have some IP address restrictions in 
place. Also, they're running older versions of the servers, so you need 
to use an undocumented option to get to the data: You need to append 
MCC=500 to all your ADDE commands.

DATALOC ADD GDAAC   G0DUG03U.ECS.NASA.GOV

==========================
If you're interested in real-time data, there is another server:
    DATALOC ADD NANUK  NANUK.EOSDIS.NASA.GOV

This one should have open access, and you don't need to add MCC=500 to 
your commands. They may not be running at the same processing version at 
the DAAC, but the data are available within a few hours, instead of 
delayed by about a day.
==========================
One other point: there is another error in the server where the 
satellite number is incorrect for Aqua MODIS. You will need to do an 
IMGCHA to correct this after you copy the data.

[it's very difficult to update these servers, so we've had to live with 
these shortcomings]
