Hi Rod, I created a McIDAS BATCH file that demonstrates a number of things that are needed to accomplish the objectives you laid out in our phone conversation on Friday: - remap input Effective Radius and VIS images into a lat,lon projection over an area that covers Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. In McIDAS, this projection is referred to as MERC. - creates ASCII files from the remapped images using AXFORM The BATCH file is named EFFRAD.BAT. It is located in your McIDAS working directory, /home/rod/mcidas/data. I _strongly_ recommend reading the contents of EFFRAD as I tried to include comments to explain what is being done. To see what the BATCH file does, do the following: - start an interactive McIDAS session: cd $MCDATA mcidas NB: I changed the default size of your McIDAS interactive session frames from the default of 480x640 to 700x932. I did this by modifying the '-f' setting in the McIDAS session configuration file /home/rod/.mcidasrc. - from the McIDAS Text and Command window, run: BATCH EFFRAD.BAT Comments: - the IMGREMAP commands in EFFRAD.BAT are hardwired to use the 22:02 Effective Radius and VIS images If you want to change the time, simply edit the file and change the TIME= keyword value on _both_ IMGREMAP invocations to the time you want. - the ASCII files created by AXFORM invocations will be: EFFRAD.A01 <- this is the file that contains the pixel values EFRRAD.HDR <- this (sort of) explains what will be in EFFRAD.A01 VIS.A01 <- ditto above VIS.HDR <- ditto above Please refer to the online help for AXFORM (HELP AXFORM) or the Unidata McIDAS-X Users Guide for more information on running AXFORM. Let me know if you run into any problems running the BATCH file, or if you have questions on what the BATCH file is doing.
