24 Apr 2009 fastrack2009.1_changes.txt This file contains the list of McIDAS-X version 2009.1 modules that were changed since the previous release (version 2008a). This information is provided so you can see exactly what has changed since version 2008a (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 24-Apr-09 in version 2009.1 -------------------------------------------- 14512 mcinst.sh 1.95 mcntinst.sh 1.12 McIDAS-X and McIDAS-XRD are now packaged into the same tar file and have a single installation script. The installation script now has an additional flag to determine which package(s) are installed. The following are valid options: sh ./mcidas2009.1.sh make ... Makes just McIDAS-X sh ./mcidas2009.1.sh make x ... Same as above sh ./mcidas2009.1.sh make xrd ... Makes just McIDAS-XRD sh ./mcidas2009.1.sh make all ... Makes both McIDAS-X and -XRD sh ./mcidas2009.1.sh install ... Installs just McIDAS-X sh ./mcidas2009.1.sh install x ... Same as above sh ./mcidas2009.1.sh install xrd ... Installs just McIDAS-XRD sh ./mcidas2009.1.sh install all ... Installs both Mc-X and -XRD sh ./mcidas2009.1.sh uninstall ... Uninstall just McIDAS-X sh ./mcidas2009.1.sh uninstall x ... Same as above sh ./mcidas2009.1.sh uninstall xrd ... Uninstalls just McIDAS-XRD sh ./mcidas2009.1.sh uninstall all ... Uninstalls both Mc-X and -XRD sh ./mcidas2009.1.sh unmake ... Unmakes just McIDAS-X sh ./mcidas2009.1.sh unmake x ... Same as above sh ./mcidas2009.1.sh unmake xrd ... Unmakes just McIDAS-XRD sh ./mcidas2009.1.sh unmake all ... Unmakes both McIDAS-X and -XRD 14507 kbxgvar.dlm 1.36 Updated GOES-13 calibration coefficients. 14488 STNDB.CORE 1.54 The station database was updated with the most recent information found at the National Weather Service. Specifically, new TAF stations were added and the lat/lon of station YXH was corrected. 14472 bright.for 1.9 DMake.linux64 1.4 eaccess.c 1.11 grddisp.pgm 1.166 grdinfo.pgm 1.57 iftok.for 1.10 m0mcpath.c 1.10 mccomp.sh 1.87 mcidas.h 1.103 mcinst.sh 1.89 ptdisp.pgm 1.86 pvsearch.c 1.10 tipti.fp 1.2 tu.pgm 1.24 McIDAS-X is now supported on Red Had Linux version 5 (RHEL5). The default complier used for RHEL5, GFORTRAN, is more strict than previous FORTRAN compilers and generated both compiler and run-time errors. Sites may need to clean up their local FORTRAN code to conform to the GFORTRAN standards. The MUG found that FORTRAN modules with characters beyond column 72 may not compile and that modules that begin a line with a TAB may cause compile and/or run-time errors. The new system g77 libraries used by RHEL5 also created a name conflict with eaccess. This function has been renamed mceaccess. 14459 mosrpt.c 1.11 The NGM model and associated products were phased out on 03-March-2009. The MOSRPT command has been updated so the default model, specified with TYPE=, is GFS. 14457 CORE.SAT 1.14 kbxavhr.dlm 1.18 lv1butil.c 1.42 POES.c 1.38 poesadir.cp 1.26 poesaget.cp 1.36 POES servers, ingestors, calibration and ancillary data files were updated for NOAA-19. 14429 grib2NavLookup.txt 1.14 grib2NCEPModels.txt 1.5 xcdgrib.c 1.36 The addition of the Global Multi-Grid Wave Model (MGMW) grids caused a navigation problem for some GFS grids. The Mercator definition was updated for some GFS grids. Three new models types were also added: PSS - Probabilistic Storm Surge NMM - Non-hydrostatic Mesoscale Model GLW - Great Lakes Wave Model Data can be found in these datasets: RTGRIB2/NMM-ALL All Non-hydrostatic Mesoscale Model grids RTGRIB2/NMM-USLCAW40 CONUS/LC; AWIPS 40 km spacing (.icwf3d files) RTGRIB2/NMM-USLCAWI4 CONUS/LC; AWIPS 16X resolution RTGRIB2/PSS-AKPS Alaska Polar Stereographic RTGRIB2/PSS-USLCAWI4 CONUS/LC; AWIPS 16X resolution RTGRIB2/GLW-UNKNME Great Lakes Wave Model; Unknown Mercator res 14396 gennavblk.for 1.3 grib2func.c 1.25 makefile 1.264 mcinst.sh 1.97 mcinst.sp 1.63 mcntinst.sh 1.13 tclcomp.sh 1.28 wtxmisc.h 1.8 bufrVersion4TableA.txt 1.2 VERSION.TXT 1.89 XRD.TXT 1.1 Updated version specific modules for McIDAS-X version 2009.1. XRD.TXT is a new data file; it contains the contents of McIDAS-XRD 2009.1. It replaces previous versions of the file, named XRD2008.TXT, XRD2007.TXT, etc. wtxmisc.h and bufrVersion4TableA.txt 1.2 were required for McIDAS-XCD 2009.1. 14386 SATBAND 1.54 SSEC scientists requested updates to the band descriptions for MODIS. 14349 lv1butil.c 1.42 Corrected navigation problems that prevented users from drawing maps on MetOP FRAC imagery displayed with data from the Level 1b server. Problems were limited to data using LALO navigation. 14263 mcservl.cp 1.7 Two new arguments were added to mcservl. When specified, the -r flag allows remote hosts to access data on the local server. If the -v flag is used, mcservl is checks to see if McIDAS-V is still running, if it has been stopped, the mcservl process will also stop. 14060 makefile 1.261 mcinst.sh 1.88 A new flag has been added to the installation script allowing McIDAS to compile without linking to -X11 libraries. Using the new flag, -noX11, users will not have an image window, text window, a GUI interface or the ability to use F-Key menus. The build for Tck/Tk is also skipped preventing sites from using customized GUIs. 13794 lalonavutil.c 1.5 poesaget.cp 1.37 The POES servers were updated to copy LALO navigation to a destination dataset.
