atovin error

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I am having trouble processing data from noaa 18 and noaa 19 – the data from AVHRR is processing correctly, but the rest of the instruments are failing with an “atovin” error – hopefully this is the correct forum to ask this question.

AVHRR:

The source data is available here: http://hippy.gina.alaska.edu/distro/n19.17229.2344.raw.hrpt.bz2

any advice as to what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Oh, just in case it matters, I believe I am running AAPP version 7.15 .

Dear Jay,

I don’t see anything obviously wrong. When I ran the same commands, with your input file, it processed correctly. A few questions:

What system are you running on? (e.g. Linux?)

What do you see in your atovin.log file?

What files do you see in your working directory, after attempting to run the processing? (do a ls -l).

Could you try it with just one instrument e.g.
AAPP_RUN_NOAA -Y 2017 -D -i AMSU-A ./n19.17229.2344.raw.hrpt
(or MHS, or HIRS)

For future reference, we would recommend to submit questions like this as a Helpdesk ticket, then it will logged in the Helpdesk tracking system.

Regards,

Nigel

My system is a centos 6 linux box:

[jcable@spam test]$ lsb_release -a

Distributor ID: CentOS
Description:    CentOS release 6.8 (Final)
Release:        6.8
Codename:       Final

Here is the run with just AMSU-A:

And this is what is left after the run:

[jcable@spam test]$ ls out tmp
out:

tmp:
aman.l1b  aman.l1c  ambn.l1c  amsuacl.log  atovin.log  decommutation.log  decommutation.par  hrsn.l1c  msun.l1c

And the atovin.log contains:

[jcable@spam test]$ cat tmp/atovin.log 

     ************************************************
     ***   Module ATOVIN $Date: 2005/04/15 13:40:02 $
     ************************************************

 !! ErrorReport: FATAL ERROR   5010 in module INFDF
 Reading NESDIS sat id etc.,  0             

If you need the atovin.log file as there appears to be chunk of binary data in it, it is available here:
http://hippy.gina.alaska.edu/distro/atovin.log.bz2

I am sure I am doing something wrong, thanks for the help!

Next time I will file a support ticket, thanks for pointing that out.

I re-installed my copy of AAPP, and it is now processing again. I guess some of the ancillary files must have gotten corrupted. Anyway, sorry for the trouble, and thanks for the help.
