Patch for failing MODIS L1 Processing

Post by kathys »

Beginning at 00UTC, on 11 June 2016, direct broadcast MODIS Level 1B processing using the modisl1db software (included as part of the International MODIS/AIRS Processing Package (IMAPP) Direct Broadcast Virtual Machine) started failing because of an outdated leapsec.dat file. The file has since been updated, but you need to update it on your system for your local processing to be successful.

Follow these instructions to restore local MODIS processing:

cd $HOME/dbvm/apps

# or wherever MODISL1DB, SeaDAS, IMAPP etc are installed
# download a patched file

curl -O ftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/gumley/leapsec/leapsec.dat

# copy the patched file to all leapsec files found in this directory

find . -name leapsec.dat -exec rsync leapsec.dat {} \;

Please let us know if you have any more questions or concerns. Use the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the IMAPP website: http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/imapp/
