16 Nov 2009 fastrack2009.2_changes.txt This file contains the list of McIDAS-X version 2009.2 modules that were changed since the previous release (version 2009.1). This information is provided so you can see exactly what has changed since version 2009.1 (and note bug fixes, try new features, etc.). The changes are listed below, sorted by SSEC inquiry nuumber. Each entry contains the following information: - SSEC inquiry number (the four-digit number at the beginning) - each module that was updated in the inquiry, followed by the module's CVS version number - a general description of the changes and how they impact McIDAS Modules released 16-NOV-09 in version 2009.2 -------------------------------------------- 14605 lv1baget.cp 1.37 Updated Level 1B server to correctly return raw values for XP and 64-bit linux workstations. 14603 POES.c 1.39 POES server was updated to apply non-linear calibration corrections for NOAA-19 AVHRR data. This corrected temperature errors of approximately 4 degrees in cloud top brightness temperatures. 14598 aboutgui.gui 1.21 Makefile 1.269 mccomp.sh 1.89 mcidas.mcenv 1.8 Mcntinst.sh 1.15 VERSION.TXT 1.90 XRD.TXT 1.2 Updated system files for McIDAS-X 2009.2. 14574 grib2NavLookup.txt 1.15 grib2Parameters.txt 1.10 Navigation for gridded datasets GFS-GLME10PD and GFS-GLME05PD are now correctly identified as type 1. Also added GRIB2 parameters FLDC (field capacity) and TRAN (transpiration). An updated list of recently added GRIB2 parameters can be found at http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/grib2/GRIB2_parmeter_conversion_table.html 14567 GVAR.c 1.37 The calibration tables for GOES-14 and beyond are no longer sent in Block 0. The tables have never changed so static values have been hard-coded into the server. Additionally, the location of nadir for an instrument has moved to a different location within Block 0. Default values are now used if the values are are not found in the new Block 0 location. 14564 lv1butil.c 1.45 A check was added to the level-1b servers to properly file navigation for NOAA-19 data. 14557 makefile 1.268 mccomp.sh 1.88 mcinst.sh 1.100 The install scripts for McIDAS-X version 2009.1 did not properly identify the -nox11 flag. This capability has been restored. Additionally, the install scripts have been updated for better support of the gfortran compiler on Linux platforms. Gfortran is now used if it is available. 14551 CORE.SAT 1.15 The satellite sensor number (SS) for NOAA-19 was incorrect. Programs such as NAVCALC and NAVDISP will now work correctly with NOAA-19. 14548 lv1baget.cp 1.36 Level-1b server now pads three character unit names (i.e., RAD) with spaces when writing data to AREA files. 14540 tclcomp.sh 1.29 The compiler flag, -DTCL_NO_STACK_CHECK=1, was added so newer versions of AIX will compile Tcl/TK. 14535 mcinst.sh 1.98 The McIDAS-X install script now allows users to attempt to build McIDAS on unsupported platforms. The amount of disk space needed to install on these types of platforms is unknown, so the space check uses the largest value from the list of supported platforms. 14525 wwdisp.c 1.77 wwlist.c 1.36 The helps sections for WWDISP and WWLIST were updated to match documentation in the McIDAS User's Guide. 14497 mtstaget2.for 1.22 The MTSAT servers were updated to properly display and copy data from raw HRIT files on AIX. 14496 imgcopy.pgm 1.114 ncdfaput.cp 1.20 NetCDF files can now write data containing negative values. To accomplish this, IMGCOPY now requests 4-byte values if the destination file type is NetCDF. 14435 nvxabis.dlm 1.5 Updated ABI navigation routine so the calculations of satellite to earth coordinated and earth to satellite coordinates match correctly. The navigation routine was also updated to calculate solar and satellite zenith angles. 14407 addefunc.c 1.25 mdfhserv.fp 1.21 mdhdserv.fp 1.23 mdksserv.fp 1.34 ptcopy.pgm 1.29 The datacenter at SSEC has an archive database of point data. The directory structure of the database is based on the date of the data. The MD servers and PTCOPY required changes to correctly request data from this archive database. 14342 isir.for 1.45 kbxabis.dlm 1.7 Several changes were made to the ABIS calibration routines. Bands 1-6 are now considered visible - all others IR. Bands 3 and 4 are now described as Near-IR. The radiance to temperature equation was updated and all references of albedo were changed to reflectance. 14232 imgfilt.pgm 1.47 Corrected problems with LOW2 filter in the line direction. 14089 mtstadir2.for 1.18 mtstaget2.for 1.21 The MTSAT servers were updated to handle rapid scan data. 13767 imgcopy.pgm 1.117 imgfilt.pgm 1.49 imgoper.pgm 1.53 imgremap.pgm 1.109 makefile 1.267 mcaput.for 1.36 mcncdf.h 1.21 mcsortcf.for 1.1 NCDF.c 1.4 ncdfaput.cp 1.24 The netCDF servers were updated to write out CF compliant files. A new keyword, CF=, was added to IMGCOPY, IMGOPER, IMGFILT and IMGREMAP to allow for backward compatibility.
