mocsearch Documentation

mocsearch - search for a select set of PDS MOC images by range contraints
This procedure calls 'mocsearch.pl' to search through the cumindex.tab
file that is available on the PDS MOC CDROM distribution.  The search
is contrained by the user specified ranges for latitude, longitude,
resolution, and 'L sub S'.  The 'TO' ouput file is a formatted ascii
table file that contains the list of images that fall within the
contraints.

The CDROM path name is included in the output file, allowing the
user to run 'MOCFTP.PDF' from tae to download the desired
images from the MOC image data set located on ida.wr.usgs.gov.
(Refer to the tae help for MOCFTP for further details).

Output files:  'TO' - formatted ascii table file

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Parm	Description
IMGINDX	The default, $ISISMGSDATA/cumindex.tab, is supplied by ISIS and was retrieved from the PDS CD-ROM volume (MGSC_1234). The information in this table file covers image dates (1997-09-15 to 2002-07-31) and CD-ROM volumes (MGSC_0001 to MGSC_1234). In order to use the most recent information supplied by PDS, the user can retrieve the cumindex.tab off the latest distributed CR-ROM and set this IMGINDX parameter to that file.
TO	Formatted ascii table file that contains 10 fields of information of the files that fall within the user defined constraints. FILENAME (with PDS CDROM jukebox path) CENTER LATITUDE CENTER LONGITUDE AVERAGE RESOLUTION (KM/PX) ASPECT RATIO AVERAGE PHASE ANGLE AVERAGE INCIDENCE ANGLE AVERAGE EMISSION ANGLE NORTH AZIMUTH LSUBS
LATRNG	Minimum Latitude, Maximum Latitude range of desired area
LONRNG	Eastern Longitude to Western Longitude of desired area. Notice that eastern/western longitude is entered (not minimum/maximum). A longitude range of (350,10) is an acceptable range that is considered the same as (-10,10)
RES	Resolution range in kilometers/pixel. The default range of 0.0 -> 0.6 is chosen so that all MOC NA images and MOC/WA context images will be retrieved from a search.
LSUBS	L sub S range. The valid range is (0,360). This value determines the season in the northern hemisphere at Mars. 0 = start of Spring, 90 = start of Summer, 180 = start of Fall, 270 = start of Winter.
