The program ssmis_rdfcdr will read an FCDR NetCDF file and output selected fields into a specified output file. To run ssmis_rdfcdr input_file output_file The file output_file is an ascii file containing the scan number, date, and spacecraft position. For testing purposes a sample input FCDR file and the corresponding output file (output.dat) are provided. Note that you will need to modify the Makefile to include the appropriate HDF5 and NetCDF4 libraries, which must be installed on your system. For information on the NetCDF4 libraries go to Unidata's site (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/).
