DESCRIPTION

The Orbit panel is used to display the orbital swath of a selected pass or passes over a given coast and latitude/longitude display. Only non-geostationary satellite pass coverage can be plotted.

PANEL ITEMS

Coast File: This item is used to specify the name of the coast file to be used in the display. The default is Coast, located in the pass directory. The user can change this by typing in the full pathname of another coast metafile.

Grid File: This item is used to specify the name of the coast file to be used in the display. The default is Grid, located in the pass directory. The user can change this by typing in the full pathname of another coast metafile.

Sensor: This item is used to determine whether to accept the default sensor, avhrr, or to specify a different sensor. Default sensors are defined in the file $SATDATA/SATSETUP.

Specify: This item is used to select alternate sensors to the default avhrr. Possible choices are defined in $SATDATA/SATSETUP.

Red, Green, Blue: These items are used to display satellite swaths on the coast and grid displayed below the panel in the given colors of each button. The relevant information for each pass is displayed next to the button, showing the satellite, telemetry, pass date, start time, and pass duration.

Clear: This item is used to clear the display of satellite swaths.

Coast: This item is used to display just the Coast and Grid files prior to displaying any satellite subtrack. If not used, the coast and grid are displayed automatically when a selected satellite pass is displayed.

Help: This item brings up this man page.

Quit: This item exits the panel.
