Announcement: SeaDAS 4.9 Update 3 now available!

Dear SeaDAS Users,

SeaDAS 4.9 Update 3 is now available on our ftp site.

Instructions for installing SeaDAS 4.9 Update 03
------------------------------------------------

This update provides an update to the SWl01 program, which is the
SeaWiFS Level 0 to 1 processing program. The SeaWiFS spacecraft
experienced a GPS outage in March 2006, which caused the time codes
to be in error. This software fix is to the navigation processing
code, which adjusts all of the spacecraft timetags by -2 seconds
during the period from 17:55 on Day 71 of 2006 to 01:29 on Day 73.
This update 03 if for SWl01 only, there are no other software
updates contained in this update.
