  This directory contains tarfiles of the International MODIS
  and AIRS Processing Package (IMAPP) Products.  The software is 
  supported on the following platforms: 

   (1) SGI, IRIX64 6.5

   (2) SUN, SunOS 5.7, sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

   (3) Intel, Solaris_x86, compiled with g77/gcc.

   (4) IBM, AIX 4.3

   (5) LINUX, 2.2.15-4mdksmp, compiled with g77/gcc.

   (6) HP,  HP-UX, B.10.20

  Note: This release consists of the atmospheric profiles product.
        No other Level 2 products are included in this release, 
        nor do they need to be updated prior to using this software.
 
        This release includes software for use with MODIS Terra
        data only. 

        The output file includes a Water_Vapor and a 
        Water_Vapor_Direct array.  Water_Vapor is calculated by 
        integrating the vertical water vapor profile.  Water_Vapor_Direct 
        is a statistical experimental retrieval.  We suggest you use 
        the Water_Vapor array as the standard total precipitable 
        water vapor product.

  PROFILES.tar:     Atmospheric profiles and offshoots (MOD07)
                    including total column water vapor and 
                    stability parameters source code with build 
                    and run instructions.

                    Note: cloudmask, ancillary and flatfile must be built
                          prior to profiles and all three should
                          be built off of the same core directory,
                          for example /MODIS/profiles, /MODIS/ancillary,
                          /MODIS/flatfile, /MODIS/cloudmask.
                          There is a modis_profiles.csh script
                          in the profiles/src directory which
                          will run the four processes together
                          on the test data sets included in the 
                          tar files.
