Hi Rod, re: > By the way when I changed the time I had this as an error: > > On the McIDAS Text and Command window I typed: BATCH EFFRAD.BAT > > And Got this: > > ERASE F 1 2 > Erased image frame(s) 1-2 > Erased graphic frame(s) 1-2 > ERASE: > Done > > IMGREMAP G13/ERAD27APR11 LOC/AREAS.3000 TIME=20:02 LAT=29:00 86:30 SIZE=320 > 320 PRO=MERC RES=6 > IMGREMAP: No images satisfy the selection criteria > IMGREMAP: Failed to open source directory > IMGREMAP failed, RC=1 > > BATCH: BATCH job abandon > /home/rod/mcidas/data/EFFRAD.BAT > > BATCH: BATCH done /home/rod/mcidas/data/EFFRAD.BAT The reason for the failure is that there is no 20:02 image in the G13/ERAD27APR11 dataset. There is a 22:02 image; is this the one you wanted? Reminder: - use IMGLIST to list out information on images in an ADDE dataset For instance, run the following from an interactive McIDAS session: IMGLIST G13/ERAD27APR11.ALL The listing you will get back is: Image file directory listing for:G13/ERAD27APR11 Pos Satellite/ Date Time Center Band(s) sensor Lat Lon --- ------------- ------------ -------- ---- ---- ------------ 1 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 10:02:00 35 87 1 2 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 10:15:00 35 87 1 3 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 10:32:00 35 87 1 4 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 10:45:00 35 87 1 5 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 11:02:00 35 87 1 6 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 11:15:00 35 87 1 7 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 11:32:00 35 87 1 8 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 11:45:00 35 87 1 9 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 12:15:00 35 87 1 10 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 12:32:00 35 87 1 11 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 12:45:00 35 87 1 12 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 13:02:00 35 87 1 13 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 13:15:00 35 87 1 14 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 13:25:00 35 87 1 15 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 13:32:00 35 87 1 16 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 13:40:00 35 87 1 17 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 13:45:00 35 87 1 18 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 13:55:00 35 87 1 19 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 14:02:00 35 87 1 20 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 14:10:00 35 87 1 21 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 14:15:00 35 87 1 22 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 14:25:00 35 87 1 23 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 14:32:00 35 87 1 24 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 14:40:00 35 87 1 25 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 14:45:00 35 87 1 26 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 15:15:00 35 87 1 27 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 15:45:00 35 87 1 28 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 15:55:00 35 87 1 29 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 16:02:00 35 87 1 30 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 16:10:00 35 87 1 31 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 16:15:00 35 87 1 32 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 16:25:00 35 87 1 33 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 16:32:00 35 87 1 34 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 16:40:00 35 87 1 35 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 16:45:00 35 87 1 36 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 16:55:00 35 87 1 37 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 17:15:00 35 87 1 38 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 17:25:00 35 87 1 39 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 17:33:00 35 87 1 40 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 17:40:00 35 87 1 41 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 17:45:00 35 87 1 42 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 18:15:00 35 87 1 43 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 18:25:00 35 87 1 44 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 18:33:00 35 87 1 45 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 18:40:00 35 87 1 46 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 18:45:00 35 87 1 47 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 18:55:00 35 87 1 48 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 19:02:00 35 87 1 49 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 19:10:00 35 87 1 50 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 19:15:00 35 87 1 51 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 19:25:00 35 87 1 52 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 19:33:00 35 87 1 53 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 19:40:00 35 87 1 54 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 19:45:00 35 87 1 55 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 19:55:00 35 87 1 56 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 22:02:00 29 86 1 57 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 20:10:00 35 87 1 58 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 20:15:00 35 87 1 59 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 20:25:00 35 87 1 60 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 20:32:00 35 87 1 61 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 20:40:00 35 87 1 62 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 20:45:00 35 87 1 63 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 21:15:00 35 87 1 64 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 21:25:00 35 87 1 65 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 21:32:00 35 87 1 66 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 21:40:00 35 87 1 67 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 21:45:00 35 87 1 68 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 21:55:00 35 87 1 69 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 22:02:00 35 87 1 70 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 22:10:00 35 87 1 71 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 22:15:00 35 87 1 72 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 22:25:00 35 87 1 73 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 22:33:00 35 87 1 74 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 22:40:00 35 87 1 75 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 22:45:00 35 87 1 76 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 22:55:00 35 87 1 77 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 23:02:00 35 87 1 78 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 23:10:00 35 87 1 79 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 23:15:00 35 87 1 80 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 23:25:00 35 87 1 81 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 23:33:00 35 87 1 82 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 23:40:00 35 87 1 83 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 23:45:00 35 87 1 84 G-13 IMG 28 APR 11118 00:15:00 35 87 1 85 G-13 IMG 28 APR 11118 00:45:00 35 87 1 86 G-13 IMG 28 APR 11118 00:55:00 35 87 1 87 G-13 IMG 28 APR 11118 01:03:00 35 87 1 88 G-13 IMG 28 APR 11118 01:10:00 35 87 1 89 G-13 IMG 28 APR 11118 01:15:00 35 87 1 90 G-13 IMG 28 APR 11118 01:25:00 35 87 1 91 G-13 IMG 28 APR 11118 01:32:00 35 87 1 92 G-13 IMG 28 APR 11118 01:40:00 35 87 1 93 G-13 IMG 28 APR 11118 01:45:00 35 87 1 94 G-13 IMG 28 APR 11118 01:55:00 35 87 1 IMGLIST: done Notice that the images that have times between 20 and 21 UTC are: 57 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 20:10:00 35 87 1 58 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 20:15:00 35 87 1 59 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 20:25:00 35 87 1 60 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 20:32:00 35 87 1 61 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 20:40:00 35 87 1 62 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 20:45:00 35 87 1 I see a couple of things that are very interesting in the IMGLIST listing: 56 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 22:02:00 29 86 1 69 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 22:02:00 35 87 1 It seems strange that position 56 is an image whose time is listed as 22:02 AND position 69 is also indicated as being from 22:02. Looking closely at the names of the files that comprise the G13/EFFRAD27APR11 dataset shows a file that one would think should be from 20:02 ls /home/rod/mcidas/data/archive/27apr2011 ... archive/27apr2011/2011117200200_effrad.area ... Interestingly, this is the 56th file in the 'ls' list (meaning that it is indeed the image whose internal time is indicated as being for 22:02 UTC. A detailed IMGLIST listing of this image shows that the image start time matches its nominal time: IMGLIST G13/ERAD27APR11.56 FORM=ALL Image file directory listing for:G13/ERAD27APR11 Pos Satellite/ Date Time Center Res (km) Image_Size sensor Lat Lon Lat Lon --- ------------- ------------ -------- ---- ---- ----- ----- ------------ 56 G-13 IMG 27 APR 11117 22:02:00 29 86 Band: 1 0.63 um VIS Cloud and Surface Features 5.25 5.24 320 x 320 proj: 0 created: 2012269 190034 memo: RT GVAR type:PRD cal type:BRIT offsets: data= 1280 navigation= 256 calibration= 768 auxiliary= 0 doc length: 0 cal length: 0 lev length: 0 PREFIX= 0 valcod: 0 zcor: 0 avg-smp: N start yyddd: 2011117 start time:220229 start scan: 382 lcor: 9278 ecor: 9841 bytes per pixel: 1 ss:180 Resolution Factors (base=1): Line= 1.0 Element= 1.0 IMGLIST: done My conclusion is that the name of the disk file is incorrect.
