SaVoir V4.4.4 (26/08/2011)

New features
1

SaVoir provides now maps of cloud forecast using data from NOAA's national weather service. A 0.5 x 0.5 degree global picture of forecast cloud coverage is composed for a user selected time within the next 8 days.

The function as activated from the menu View / Cloud Forecast ... The user is prompted to define a target time, usually 24 hours ahead of current time, and the type of map, whether black and white clouds image or a color map with % of cloud cover.

2

Cloud forecast can be activated per swath, to show the forecasted cloud cover at the observation time. It is possible to select a black & white picture or a color map with % of cloud cover.

SaVoir installer generates now two executables :

  • SaVoir.exe: this is the same as previous versions containing an executable for single user license.
  • SaVoirFloating.exe: Functionally is exactly the same as SaVoir.exe, but activated through a floating license. To be activated it requires:
    • A license file "SaVoir_FLOATING_LICENSE.DAT" should be collocated in the same directory of SaVoirFloating.exe. This file is generated and provided by Taitus to each floating license holder. In the absence of this file SaVoir refuses to start with the message: "Server configuration file is missing."
    • The floating license holder must make available a shared directory in the local network ("\\<server name>\<shared directory>"" with read / write access to floating license clients. The name of the shared directory is embedded in the SaVoir_FLOATING_LICENSE.DAT file and must be communicated to Taitus in order to generate the file.
4 All functionality implementing Cloud cover analysis (live clouds, forecast clouds and statistical clouds) has been separated from the main application body and implemented in a Plug in (Plug in Clouds).
Fixed source 
1 The page Edit / Properties .../ Satellites / Files has been upgraded to ensure that the links and buttons are able to retrieve update satellite configuration information correctly.
2 Fixed error when using single color maps (vectorized maps, Blue, Black and White). After some time using the map the application crashed due to out-of-memory on video card.
Configuration updates 
1 Fixed error in the definition of Envisat ROEF file name, which missed the final extension N1 
2 Radarsat-2 configuration updated as per last Radarsat-2 APT configuration update: "Added F0W3 to complement and extend the incidence angle range of the existing F0W1 and F0W2 Fine Wide beam mode"
3 Cosmo-Skymed configuration has been slightly modified to set framing handling with KeepFrameBoundaries = true, Floating Frame = ALIGN AT CENTER. Instrument Beams have been updated so that their names have the same number letters (e.g. H4-01 instead of H4-1).
4 Removed ALOS after end of mission.
5

The SAR mosaic maps have been upgraded with a new baseline map covering also the polar caps.
