This change can adversely affect sites using a customized GUI. Please refer to the Significant Programmer changes for complete details. 15096 imgfilt.pgm 1.53 Fixed a bug when IMGFILT was getting segmentation violation errors. Error occurred when input values were less than the minimum values specified with the discriminate option. 15081 briefing.shk 1.10 gui/gui.shk 1.20 Removed checks for wish executable from gui and brief scripts to prevent core dumps on Windows 7. 15080 SATANNOT 1.32 SATBAND 1.63 Added Korean geostationary satellite, COMS, to both SATANNOT and SATBAND. 15075 kbxgvar.dlm 1.42 Updated GOES-14 and GOES-15 calibration coefficients. 15071 STNDB.CORE 1.65 Updated the station database to keep current with NWS. 15061 aboutgui.gui 1.24 bufrks.c 1.6 makefile 1.287 mccomp.sh 1.92 mcinst.sh 1.114 mcmkhelp.c 1.19 mcntinst.sh 1.18 SATANNOT 1.33 tclcomp.sh 1.33 VERSION.TXT 1.94 XRD.TXT 1.5 System files released with 2011.1 15060 grib2NavLookup.txt 1.24 grib2NCEPModels.txt 1.8 Add model ID and associated navigation for NAM fire grids. 15029 imgrgb.pgm 1.8 Added new keyword (BASEThreshold) to IMGRGB. The keyword allows the user to specify a threshold of gray value of the basemap to be considered a map outline. Map outlines can be burned into a basemap using the xrd command SVGA. If the basemap value is less than or equal to the threhhold, 25% opacity is added to the basemap and 25% opacity is reduced from the source image. 15017 gribfunc.c 1.68 Added National Digital Forecast Database as a new source of model data. These data are currently only sent over the Conduit feed. 15016 mcinst.sh 1.110 Corrected an error in the install script when compiling with gfortran using RHEL 5.0. 15013 argutil.c 1.25 Fixed a memory problem found with Red Hat Linux 6.0. 14988 txt2md.pgm 1.20 Added CONTINUE keyword to TXT2MD. If a user specifies a value of YES for CONTINUE=, TXT2MD will skip lines in the text file that are not formatted correctly. 14977 xcdgrib.c 1.39 Updated grib server to handle MARS grids from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. 14974 sfcmg.c 1.36 Corrected an error in SFCMG. The error was seen on 64-bit workstation when a station was missing a value for state. 14971 makefile 1.280 Added --disable-netcdf4 to makefile. If the HDF install script found NetCDF installed in a new location, it did some extra steps that caused problems with the McIDAS build. 14968 kbxkalp.dlm 1.4 Updated Kalpana calibration to handle multi-banded data. 14966 grib2NavLookup.txt 1.21 grib2Parameters.txt 1.11 Added support for gridded product UV index that was released by NCEP. 14964 imgrgb.pgm 1.5 Corrected an error when calculating the amount of sunlight for eastern longitudes. 14958 gms5_nav.for 1.10 nvxgmsx.dlm 1.7 Added HGT (height) option to determine parallax errors for GMS navigation. 14957 imgprobe.pgm 1.126 Corrected errors determining the spin scan rate for FY2 satellites. This error caused an incorrect scan line time to be listed when using IMGPROBE. 14952 STNDB.CORE 1.62 Added new TAF stations to the station database found in NWS updates. 14946 axform.pgm 1.58 Corrected a scaling error when requesting temperature data for remapped MTSAT AREA files. Previously the temperatures were off by a factor of 10. 14934 STNDB.CORE 1.63 Corrected the latitude error for KCSM (Clinton-Sherman Airport, Oklahoma). Previously the station had a latitude of -33 (southern hemisphere) and should have been 33 degress (northern hemisphere). 14930 mcidas.mcenv 1.13 mclisten/mclisten.h 1.10 mcntinst.sh 1.21 server/unix/mcservl.c 1.8 Added capability for McIDAS-X to run under Window-7 32 and 64 bit operating systems. 14925 CORE.SAT 1.17 kbxashx.dlm 1.1 kbxcldx.dlm 1.1 kbxmodv.dlm 1.1 kbxobsx.dlm 1.1 kbxsstx.dlm 1.1 modx.h 1.15 SATBAND 1.60 Added channels for CLAVR-X, GEOCAT and GSIP processing for MODIS and GOES product images. 14899 nvxgeos.dlm 1.4 nvxmtst.dlm 1.8 Added HGT (height) option for GEOS and MTST navigations. Also updated the Earth radius. Both changes allow for better parallax correction. 14892 mtstaget2.for 1.24 Updated MTST server to always write auxiliary information (i.e., documentation) to destination area file. 14891 addefunc.c 1.27 Added capability to include multiple YYDDD values when using file masking. 14890 altim.c 1.25 ask1.shk 1.13 briefing.shk 1.12 grib2.h 1.5 gribfunc.c 1.69 gui.shk 1.21 hodo.c 1.32 m0vpget.c 1.23 m0wtxget.c 1.5 mcgrib.h 1.19 mcgrib2.h 1.8 mcidas.sh 1.66 mcinst.sh 1.116 mcntinst.sh 1.22 mcsound.for 1.11 modxaget.cp 1.32 ncdfks.cp 1.16 os.c 1.8 uaplot.c 1.33 wwdisp.c 1.78 wwlist.c 1.38 wwmisc.c 1.51 For OSX platforms, the .mcidasrc file created for a new user will not include automatic startup of the configuration or McIDAS GUIs. The OS command was update to include standard Unix libraries. Sounding commands were fixed to prevent array overwrites of character strings. 14888 CORE.SAT 1.16 Corrected SS numbers for Aqua and added Terra and Aqua products. 14883 grib2NavLookup.txt 1.20 grib2NCEPModels.txt 1.7 Added CRAS (The CIMSS Regional Assimilation System) as a source of model data also added its navigation type. 14882 imgconv.pgm 1.5 Updated the list of satellite sensor numbers for normalizing brightness to include all GMS satellites. 14835 dsserve.pgm 1.80 Updated help section stating that Level 1b files downloaded from CLASS must contain the entire pass. 14833 grdlist.pgm 1.91 m0gsort.for 1.45 Updated GRDLIST and grid sorting routines to use data from NDFD, National Digital Forecast Database, as Model ID 0. 14813 VASTBLS 1.1 The file containing the GOES vertical atmospheric calibration corrections (VASTBLS) is now included with core distribution of McIDAS-X. Previously a user had to run the command VASTBL to create the file (this option still exists). 14810 ssrange.c 1.11 NAVLIST now correctly displays navigation information for satellite sensor numbers greater than 99. 14808 LEODATA.CORE 1.14 Due to degraded instruments, NOAA-17 was removed from list of satellites processed by LEO. NOAA-19 was added to the list. 14795 mccomp.sh 1.90 Updated the compile script, mccomp, for Linux platforms to use the same defaults as the install script. 14792 grddisp.pgm 1.167 grdlist.pgm 1.90 m0levuni.for 1.7 mcfndgrd.for 1.22 Updated GRDLIST and GRDCOPY to correctly identify .995 as a valid sigma level. 14773 eu.pgm 1.61 Added FORM= keyword to EU to list out complete brightness to RGB levels. This was needed for non-McIDAS visualization routines - such as the web map services. 14508 STNDB.CORE 1.63 Removed the station ID 74646 designation from Sulphur OK (KF30) and added it to Lamont OK. Also changed Sulphur (KF30) to only have METARs and Lamont to just have RAOBS. 14499 addefunc.c 1.28 mcservsh.sh 1.6 Servers have been updated to decide if debug information is written to the file trce. This change was primarily done for McIDAS-V. 14321 MODIS.CORE 1.8 modx.h 1.12 modxadir.cp 1.15 modxaget.cp 1.31 Updated MODIS servers to use new data format from DAAC. 13899 build-dmakefiles.pl 1.148 imgcopy.pgm 1.122 imgdisp.pgm 1.113 imgfilt.pgm 1.52 imgoper.pgm 1.56 imgprobe.pgm 1.125 m0GenNavBlk.c 1.2 mod8aget.cp 1.6 modsaget.cp 1.52 Added the capability to correct the bow tie distortion in MODIS data. The keyword NAVTYPE=RECT has been added to IMGCOPY, IMGDISP, IMGFILT and IMGOPER. Using this keyword signals the server to remap the data into a rectilinear projection while correcting the bow tie distortion. The servers use the MRTSwath software package from the U.S Geological Survey.
