Hello,

I am having problems creating geolocation files and was hoping you can help me out.  In the LogStatus file, I'm seeing several getMODISfileinfo errors.  I run update_luts daily so my leapsec and utcpole files are current (June 18th and July 2nd respectively).  (I even deleted the files and updated them just in case one of them was corrupt).  The odd thing is that some files will process successfully, but I have a handful that routinely have the same error.  Do you have any suggestions of what could be wrong?  Below is a subset of one of the LogStatus files.

Thanks,
Kim

I have continued to test modis_Geo.py and in the latest iteration, I noticed that several of the errors are now associated with files in /ocssw/src/, however, I do not have a /src/ directory. I have also seen errors trying to find files in /ocssw/run/.  Could there be legacy information on my system that is looking for the SeaDAS 6.4 directory tree?  If so, where and what should I be looking for?  I completely removed 7.4 before installing 7.5, but that doesn't mean I didn't miss something when doing the update. 

Thanks again,
Kim

The references to files in the src directory refer to the program source files used to build the binaries, and are part of the error message.   Messages that
refer to "ocssw/run" are likely from a seadas 7.4 or earlier configuration.   You should look for an old ocssw directory and also make sure there aren't old setting of OCSSW environment variables in your startup scripts (usually ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile, or ~/.bashrc).   You can also try (in a terminal):

$ env | grep 'ocssw/run'
$ which modis_GEO.py
(note that the '$' is the final character of the shell prompt and is typed by the system.  It is not part of the command you need to enter).

Kim,

Your first example references an old build, from April 2016:
/data3/swdev/V2016.2/build/src/geogen_modis/GEO_location_main.c, main():MODIS_U_GEO_BEGIN:288778279
Seed file: 6.2 Running MOD_PR03 MODIS Geolocation main() 6.2 compiled on Apr 26 2016 at 15:06:00 using makefile 1.1

Your second example looks like a v7.5 build, from May 2018:
home/seadas/ocssw/src/geogen_modis/GEO_location_main.c, main():MODIS_U_GEO_BEGIN:288778279
Seed file: 6.2 Running MOD_PR03 MODIS Geolocation main() 6.2 compiled on May 31 2018 at 12:44:51 using makefile 1.1
The configuration may have been corrected, but you should check as George suggested.

The "PGS_DEM_GetPoint" error from your second example may indicate that your granule contains bad scans, or that the granule was taken during a maneuver.  Data outages and maneuver times are listed here: https://modaps.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/services/production/outages_aqua.html

Thank you for the help. 

I finally figured out that one of my servers was still using an older version of SeaDAS, which explains why some files processed successfully and others didn't when I was running a large batch of files on multiple servers.

Thanks again,
Kim
