From the command prompt, it looks like you were logged in
as the user 'mcidas', not as the user 'rod'.  The commands
I gave previously assumed that you were logged in as 'rod':

<as 'rod' on iset2>
cd $MCDATA
rm -f AREA2000 AREA2001
ln -s archive/27apr2011/2011117201000i13.c01 AREA2000
ln -s archive/27apr2011/goes13.2011.117.201020.BAND_04 AREA2001


FYI:  I played around with displaying radar echo isosurfaces
and effective radius images in the IDV.  I have attached an
animated GIF of the result that shows the locations of the
50 dBz isosurfaces in relation to the locations of effective
radius maxima.  Just thought that this might help visualize
their relative locations...


Cheers,

Tom
