Occasionally, descriptive reports were generated displaying rainfall and insolation data from this database. Both the data storage and processing programs resided on a Hewlett-Packard desktop computer system no longer in use by researchers in Environmental Sciences. Furthermore, the format and processing of data over the six years the system has been in operation have not been consistent. The goals of this conversion project were to document the Descriptors: COMMUNICATIONS; DATA TRANSMISSION; HP COMPUTERS; IBM COMPUTERS ; PERSONAL COMPUTERS; SATELLITES Broader Terms: COMMUNICATIONS; COMPUTERS; DIGITAL COMPUTERS; PROCESSING Subject Categories: 10/5/391 02214079 Author(s): 990210* -- Supercomputers -- (Item 91 from file: (1987-1989) 103) GRA-88-50061; ERA-13-049477; EDB-88-156819 Goetz, J.; Klemm, J.; Phillips, J.; Thomas, C.

Technical report, 12 March 5003120 existing data formats, develop processing program(s) capable of managing the various formats, and establish procedures for the continuing transfer of new data from the GOES system in Virginia to its final storage on an IBM PC system. To achieve these goals, the following materials were developed: the computer program MITRANS, which translates raw data retrieved by the old communications program into edited, self-documenting files organized by site and year, nineteen consolidated data input files, which contain all data from 1982 to May 31, 1988, a comprehensive data dictionary, reflecting all that is known about the 13 different data formats that have been used over the last 6 years, procedures for managing the communications program still running on the Hewlett-Packard computer and transferring its raw data files to the IBM PC, sample input and output files that test the various data formats, and this project report and reference manual. 20 figs., 3 tabs.
