1 Introduction

1.1. Purpose

This document describes the installation of the ATOVS and AVHRR Processing Package (AAPP), which has been developed and tested by the AAPP project team in EUMETSAT's Numerical Weather Prediction Satellite Application Facility (NWP SAF). The current version supports the processing of (i) AVHRR, TOVS and ATOVS data from the NOAA polar orbiting satellites, (ii) AVHRR, ATOVS and IASI data from METOP, (iii) ATMS, CrIS and VIIRS from Suomi NPP, (iv) MWTS, MWHS and IRAS from Fengyun-3.

1.2. Scope

The currently available software has been developed for UNIX and Linux systems. It can be anticipated that every potential user will be able to equip a computer, from workstation to PC, with a UNIX or Linux system. Thus no other environment will be supported so far. Users who want to adapt the software to other operating system environments are obliged to do this without installation support.

The following is required for the installation of the main AAPP modules:

External libraries are required to run some parts of AAPP (detailed more fully in Chapter 3):

The IASI local processing software, OPS-LRS, is delivered separately from the main AAPP, and its installation is described in a separate document (see RD09). For information on OPS-LRS releases, please see the AAPP web page.
