ISCCP C2 HDF Read Program

The program rdc2hdf.c and rdc2hdf.f (C and Fortran Versions) allow the user
to dump data to an ASCII file for a choosen year and month. You can further
subset the data  by choosing the cell number. The data is stored
in EQUAL AREA grid.  Data for each parameter is stored as 1 x 6596, hence the
option to choose the cell number ranges between 1 and 6596.  Cell number 1 is at
the South Pole. If no subsetting is requested all 6596 data for the selected
parameter are retrieved from HDF file and the read program applies the
appropriate conversion table and the values are printed to an ASCII output file.
Future versions will allow for subsetting by latitude and longitude ranges. A
menu for available parameters allows for the selection of particular data(e.g.,
VAR = 11  GMT=0 MEAN PC FOR CLOUDY PIXELS,etc). Further information on the ISCCP-C2
data can be found in the

      INTERNATIONAL SATELLITE CLOUD AND CLIMATOLOGY PROJECT  
                          (ISCCP)

                  DOCUMENTATION OF CLOUD DATA

                      DECEMBER-1988

                  (Revised March 1991)

The program builds the name of the HDF data file as you make the above          
selection for the year and month. The name of the file is:
          
      c2_3hrlymon_yymm*

   * yymm-The year and month the data was acquired.(e.g. 9001)

The program also builds an output file: HDF_filename.rpt

In order to run the read software, you will need to obtain the HDF libraries
which are available in the public domain from the National Center for Super
computing Applications (NCSA) via ftp (ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu or 128.174.20.50). 
Further information on obtaining the HDF libraries can be found in Langley
DAAC Handbook, February 1993. Once the HDF libraries have been installed 
on your machine, the programs can be compiled as follows:

**************************************************************************
                  UNIX Example for Compiling the Read Programs

C:      cc -Dmachine -I/"path to HDF include files" rdc2hdf.c /"path to HDF
        library" -o "executable name"

Example:cc -DSUN -I/home/HDF/include rdc2hdf.c /home/HDF/lib/libdf.a -o 
        rdc2hdf.out

FORTRAN: f77 rdc2hdf.f /"path to HDF library" -o "executable name"

Example: f77 rdc2hdf.f /home/HDF/lib/libdf.a -o rdc2hdf.out

** Please note the cc and f77 are the SUN C and FORTRAN compilation commands.
   These may be different on your machine.

DATA:             Monthly mean global data every three hours with spatial       
 (Binary)         resolution of 250 km (nominal).  There are nine files         
                  for each month.  The first eight files contain the            
                  monthly means at a single GMT (00,03,06,09,12,15,18,21)       
                  and the ninth file for the month contains the monthly         
                  means over all eight GMT's.                                   
                                                                                
Mapping:         Data are stored on tape in Equal-Area Grid format              
                    6596 Grid Boxes in Equal Area Map; (0,0) is a box corner.   
                    The sequential box numbering system assigns a number        
                    between 1 and 6596 to each Equal-Area box, starting from    
                    the South Pole at the Greenwich Meridian.  Within each      
                    latitude belt the numbers then increase eastward from the   
                    zero degree meridian.  Box numbers increase northward in    
                    latitude.  In each hemisphere there are 3298 boxes.
