This directory contains read software in FORTRAN for the
SeaWinds Level 2A data distributed by the JPL PO.DAAC.

Each of these programs was tested on an SGI (IRIX 5.3) and on 
a SUN (SunOS 5.6).  If you encounter difficulty with these 
programs, please contact: sws@podaac.jpl.nasa.gov.

FORTRAN Programs:
-----------------

read_sws2a.f:    a FORTRAN program to read a SeaWinds Level 2A 
                   data in HDF format.

                   To run this program, use the following command:

                   read_sws2a <infile>

                   Sample output from this program are available in
                   file sample_output2a.

read_sws_info.f: a FORTRAN program to read the attribute 
                   information contained in the SeaWinds Level 1B, 
                   2A and 2B data files in HDF format.

                   To run this program, use the following command:

                   read_sws_info <infile>

                   Sample output from this program are available
                   in file sample_header2a.

Makefiles:
----------

Makefile:  An example Makefile for the SeaWinds read software in
           FORTRAN.  Please note that this Makefile is currently
           set for "read_sws2a.f", and it must be modified before
           it will work properly for the Level 1B, Level 2A and
           attribute readers.

To run this Makefile, use the following command:

make
