Hi Tyn and Ambika, Sorry for the slow response on this one... re: > I have a student from India, Ambika Mukund. She hopes to explore the > use of passive microwave sensors and optical sensors in drought > assessment in agriculture in Rajasthan. Can you help me with the > specific routines from McIDAS-XRD so to at support for: > > AMSR-E HDF image server > SSM/I netCDF image server I just added support for that will build all of the ADDE servers contained in the 2006 XRD distribution: amsradir.cp amsraget.cp kalpadir.cp kalpaget.cp mod3adir.cp mod3aget.cp sminadir.cp sminaget.cp tminadir.cp tminaget.cp The servers you requested specifically are: amsradir.cp amsraget.cp sminadir.cp sminaget.cp These new additions have resulted in a new McIDAS-X v2006 distribution, v2006h. You can install the updates in two equivalent ways, both of which are done as the user 'mcidas': <login as 'mcidas'> I. install new distribution: cd ~mcidas/mcidas2006/src make clobber cd ~mcidas ftp ftp.unidata.ucar.edu <user> <username> <- you should have this already <pass> <password> cd unix/2006 binary get mcidasx2006.tar.gz quit tar xvzf mcidasx2006.tar.gz cd ~mcidas/mcidas2006/src make make xrd make install make install install.xrd II. upgrade your existing installation with the latest addendum cd ~mcidas/mcidas2006/update ftp ftp.unidata.ucar.edu <user> <username> <- you should have this already <pass> <password> cd unix/2006/bugfix binary get mcupdate.tar.gz get mcupdate quit chmod +x mcupdate ./mcupdate cd ~mcidas/mcidas2006/src make make xrd make install make install install.xrd NB: I verified that the XRD routines build on my Fedora Core 6 64-bit Linux system, but I have not tested them.
