Announcement: MODISL1DB 1.1 Released

MODISL1DB 1.1 is now available for the MODIS DB community via: http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/seadas/modisl1db/

MODISL1DB is a MODIS Level-1 Direct Broadcast software package capable of processing Aqua and Terra Level-0 data to Level-1A and Level-1B.

-If you already have MODISL1DB 1.0 installed, simply install MODISL1DB 1.1 in a new directory and point your DBHOME environment variable to this new directory.

-If you already have the digital elevation maps, there is no need to re-download them... you can simply move them into the data/modis/dem/ directory or create a symbolic link.

This version has only minor improvements/changes from version 1.0 as outlined below...

-Best regards from the Ocean Biology Processing Group!-

MODISL1DB 1.1 Changes
===============

scripts/modis_L0_to_L1A_GEO.csh, scripts/modis_L1A_to_GEO.csh:

  -new feature checks utcpole.dat and leapsec.dat to see if they are
   over 14 days old, and if so, automatically downloads them unless
   the '-disable-utcpole_leapsec' flag is set

scripts/modis_update_luts.csh:

  -improved logic for checking users' newest local LUT versions

bin/aqua_l1bgen, bin/terra_l1bgen:

  -the LOCALGRANULEID metadata field is now set to the L1B output file
   (previously it was being set to the original DAAC output string)

data/modisa/pcf/PGE01_template.pcf, data/modist/pcf/PGE01_template.pcf:

  -minor edit of EPHFILE/ATTFILE lines; this will not affect products
   (updated modis_L0_to_L1A_GEO.csh and modis_L1A_to_GEO.csh to match)

data/modisa/pcf/PGE02_template.pcf, data/modist/pcf/PGE02_template.pcf:

  -minor edit of MCF lines; this will not affect products
   (updated modis_L1A_to_L1B.csh to match)
