Dear Foad,

 

Thanks for the kind words about MGET. We appreciate your support.

 

I have some good news regarding Pathfinder 5.2. We did introduce support for it sometime back. I’m not sure which version of MGET you’re running, but in recent versions you can go to MGET à Data Products à NOAA National Oceanographic Data Center à 4km AVHRR Pathfinder Version 5.2 SST. There are tools there for downloading these data as rasters, creating climatologies, and interpolating (a.k.a. sampling) the values of the images at points.

 

One potential problem with 5.2 is that NOAA only produces daily images. There are not the same 8-day, monthly, and yearly images that there were with 5.0 and 5.1. If you want to work with multi-day composite images, you have to produce them yourself. You can accomplish this with the tool for creating climatologies, only rather than allowing this tool to operate over the entire time series of images, you restrict it to just one year. Then the “climatologies” it produces will be just from that year—effectively the same thing as multi-day composite images that you had with 5.0/5.1.

 

All the best,

 

Jason

Hi there,

 

Thanks for the MGET tool. I'm static now that I'm writing this email. I'm amazed by the long way that MGET has traveled over the years and it is a surprise that we don't hear more from it in the scientific community. I think MGET is the ultimate flying machine for any scientist who has been held back due to lack of programming expertise (image processing). It opens so many doors. Thanks for you great job and vision.

 

I have one favor to ask, but I know how painful this requests are sometimes, so it is a big favor. I'm working with AVHRR pathfinder. I have a proposal in to work on V5.2 data (1981-2012). I came across the capability of the MGET but noticed that it has access to V5.1 and V5.0, and not V5.2.

 

My request is, is there an easy way to hack the code to add the V5.2 AVHRR pathfinder into the scope of MGET. Aplogies for the long long email :)

 

Regards

Foad
