14 Major Development & Fixes since last meeting

15 TOOLKIT: – XML metadata writing capability for inventory metadata in SDP toolkit ( release). Added XML style sheet to new TOOLKIT distribution for metadata display with Internet Explorer and other browsers – Fix for writing metadata into an HDF file when multiple HDF files are open – libiconv delivery in tar files for Mac and Cygwin – Fix for setting correct endianness flag in linux for eph tools (Fix is for MOPITT eph files reading) – Correction in PGS_CBP_body_inFOV | acos(cp (*) ·) -À/2 | < rAngCB Recent Major Development/Fixes

16 HDF-EOS2: – Added Dimension scales for Swath and Grid Fix for: – Subsetting with GDdefboxregion results in an extra row and/or column in linux (round-off problem) – Inconsistency in dimensions between real dims and the values in the structure metadata – Problem on setting other compressions for swath and grid when disabling szip compression Recent Major Development/Fixes

17 – Segfault in creating swath when HDF files opened in read-only mode – Segfault in EHinquire function because of a VGroup with class "CDF0.0” – Segfault in GDapi (sincos redefinition problem) – Segfault in sample test grid subsetter – compinfo functions must return -1 only for errors (not for COMP_NONE) – GDrs2ll should fail for any projection other than BCEA Recent Major Development/Fixes

18 HDF-EOS5: – Added Dimension scales to Swath, Grid, and Zonal Average fields – Fix for problem in setting fillvalue; Fillvalue is only for the field defined right after setting fillvalue Recent Major Development/Fixes

19 HDF-EOS Plug-in for HDFView: – Support for all features in HDFView – Correction for displayed lat/lon in a swath around the international date line – Bug fix for HDF5 fillvalue and chunking info display – Bug fixes for saving HDF-EOS5 files after modification Recent Major Development/Fixes

20 HEG: Enhancement / Bug Fixes: – Performance improvement for conversion to Conical or Azimuthal projection – Preserving input datum for output projection – Better default values when user fails to enter some key projection parameters specifically when input grid is global and output projection LCC or LA Recent Major Development/Fixes

21 – Stand-alone HEG GUI fixes for subset area selection for some products such as AMSR_E SeaIce products – Better handling of UTM outputs when user fails to enter appropriate UTM zone and/or subset area for Global input grids – Windows VISTA and 7 testing/support Recent Major Development/Fixes

22 – Resolving problem with some output State Plane projection conversions when user fails to enter appropriate SP zone (leading 0 in some 3-digit SP zone codes in statezones.h) – Modifying input default lat of +/- 90 for AE Ocean products when output projection is Mercator – Correcting a problem offending input negative Earth Flattening value in AMSR_E SeaIce products Recent Major Development/Fixes

23 Future Plans

24 Future Plans TOOLKIT/HDF-EOS: Update of DEM Tools for new 500m DEM data (Dean Gesch, U.S. Geological Survey) XML Metadata reading in TOOLKIT Support for new versions of HDF4 - HDF5 Update of DEM land-sea mask (last Global land water mask created is at 250m spatial resolution and was released Aug ) Auto Configuration for TOOLKIT Support (or improvements) for 64-bit platforms (C++) Validation tool for HDF-EOS5 files Fix for reported bugs since the previous release

25 Future Plans (cont.) HDF-EOS Plug-in for HDFView: More functionalities : – Cut/paste objects, modify/delete attributes. – Create new grid/swath – Support Zonal Average object for HDF-EOS5 – Add World Coast Line map to HDFView Plug-in – Adding some HEG capabilities (Geotif output, projection conversion, resampling, etc)

26 Future Plans (cont.) HEG: – Performance improvement for all supported products (EED On-Demand-Data-Access Web Services) – Support for fields with dimensions 5 or larger (MISR) – Allowing HEG to open Parameter file with Stand- alone GUI – Support HEG in MAC Intel – Resolve reported bugs or requests from DAACs/Users
