McIDAS-V Support Forums

I am also having another issue with MODIS within hydra. I am processing some MODIS data with other A-train datasets in IDL. For this, I am using the multispectral MYD021km data with the MYD03 1 km navigation. See attached example, the maximum latitude of the data is ~5.3 deg N. When draw my green subset box to display the northernmost portion of the granule in Mc-V, the maximum latitude indicated by the cursor is 4.3 N. In the region from the attached line plot, the cursor claims the latitude is Is the cursor output wrong, or is the data not being navigated properly?

The multispectral datasource only uses the 5km nav in the MOD02 file, so
there's probably some truncation on the edges. The navigation is as close
to correct as we can do with the sub-sampled nav - in general coastlines
match up pretty well with the corresponding image boundaries.

I think this 5 km/1 km isuue may contribute to the problem I'm seeing, but after running this problem with another case, I think the lat/lon from the cursor output can be way off on occasions.

Hi Kris-

I'll put this information into an inquiry for evaluation as well... http://mcidas.ssec.wisc.edu/inquiry-v/?inquiry=654

Thanks for the information.

Kris,

Could you please post your files for further testing/debugging.

Thanks,
