[McIDAS #CYB-444461]: McIDAS-X installation on Ubuntu 16.04



Hi Sohail,

re:
> Thank you sir for your kind reply.

No worries.

re:
> I go through the documents and am still going through the docs again and
> again.

Since I have never used the ADT package that is bundled with McIDAS-X,
I am not an expert on its use.  Because of this, I went to the SSEC/CIMSS
webpage:

http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/misc/adt/info.html

to familiarize myself more with the package.  In particular, I have started
reading the ADT Users Guide:

http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/misc/adt/guides/ADTV8.2.1_Guide.pdf

re:
> *1.* I want to run the following command *ADT *. Here is the screen shot

OK.

re:
> *2. *If i am not wrong *DATALOC *command is used to display/list the
> datasets?

No.  DATALOC is used to define which ADDE server to access for a particular
named dataset.  Here is a simple example:

DATALOC ADD GINIEAST ADDE.UCAR.EDU

DSINFO is used to find out what descriptors exist for a named dataset.
For example:

DSINFO IMAGE GINIEAST

Once one knows the descriptors for a named dataset, one can use IMGLIST,
IMGDISP, etc.  For example:

IMGLIST GINIEAST/GE4KIR
Image file directory listing for:GINIEAST/GE4KIR
 Pos Satellite/         Date       Time      Center   Band(s)
     sensor                                 Lat  Lon
 --- -------------  ------------  --------  ---- ---- ------------
  95  G-13 IMG      18 SEP 17261  22:45:19    41   88 4
IMGLIST: done

IMGDISP can be used to display the image in GINIEAST/GE4KIR.  For example:

IMGDISP GINIEAST/GE4KIR EU=IMAGE
MAP

re:
> Here is the *dataloc* command result of *McIDAS* on my machine.

OK, you already have run DATALOC to "point" at adde.ucar.edu for the
GINIEAST dataset.

re:
> I can't see all the datasets you mentioned in the email and also in the
> link you provided me.

It could be the case that the ADDE servers maintained by universities are
not being kept up to date.  Were you able to access imagery from the ADDE
servers that we maintain?  Again, this list is:

adde.ucar.edu
atm.ucar.edu
adde.ssec.wisc.edu
lead.unidata.ucar.edu

re:
> How i can add those on-line datasets to *McIDAS* and
> how to access their images/data. Can you please show me an example command.

Is the example I included above enough to get you started?

re:
> *3. *I am looking for any Data Image of *Irma* of any date. If you can help
> by showing me the command with parameters/keywords to access the data. And
> also how i can check or find that in which dataset the corresponding

The only thing I can offer is the following:

The dataset IMAGEALL is the group name for the non-realtime images that are
distributed in our Internet Data Distribution system (IDD) in the UNIWISC
datastream.  Let's work through an example:

<in a McIDAS session>

DATALOC ADD IMAGEALL LEAD.UNIDATA.UCAR.EDU
Group Name                    Server IP Address

--------------------         ----------------------------------------
IMAGEALL                     LEAD.UNIDATA.UCAR.EDU

<LOCAL-DATA> indicates that data will be accessed from the local data directory.

In my McIDAS session, this results in the GIF image I have attached.

Now, position your cursor over Irma's eye and get its latitude and longitude
using the 'E' command.  Here is the result:

 Frame    Latitude    Longitude    Tvline    Tvelem    Line    Elem

Now that you know the lat,lon of Irma's eye, reload the image centered
on it and blown-up three times:

As you will see, the GEW-IR image in the IMAGEALL dataset is unfortunately
not that high in resolution.  The archived version of the GINIEAST dataset
has slightly higher resolution images that included Irma:

We (Unidata) do not currently maintain archive datasets of imagery of higher
resolution than what these represent.  UW/SSEC's Data Center does maintain
archives of full GOES resolution imagery.  To get access, please review:
