MISR Conversion to ASCII Routines

These MISR ASCII conversion routines read parameters from MISR Level 1B2 or AGP data files and write those parameters to a set of ASCII formatted files, with one output file for each MISR block for each parameter.

These routines are written in ITT Visual Information Solutions IDL programming language. They can be run either with a licensed version of the IDL software package or by using the IDL Virtual Machine application. The IDL Virtual Machine is a free runtime version of IDL available from ITT Visual Information Solutions at http://www.ittvis.com/idlvm/. The IDL VM software may be downloaded from this site or ordered from ITT VIS on CD at no cost. The site provides installation instructions. The software was developed and tested with IDL and IDL VM version 6.1 and if using IDL VM, should be run with IDL VM 6.1 or higher.

Additional information, including installation and program execution instructions, is available in a Readme file.

The ASCII conversion software can be downloaded as a tar file containing nine files, misr_ascii.tar. The files may be extracted from the tar package using the Unix tar command or a utility such as WinZip on Windows PCs.
