This file will describe, in brief, the functionality of the FilledMapSubsetter code.

The intention of this code is to create an HDF file that contains a defined set
of Scientific Data Sets (SDS), whose points are a defined box around an inputted
Latitude and Longitude point.  The code creates a new file that will contain all
of the original file's metadata and SDS metadata.  The PERL scripts can handle
multiple days and geolocated areas so that processing an entire year of data over
multiple areas is simple.  In addition, the code allows for a prefix to be 
attached to the new HDF file for identification purposes (ex. you can name a 
certain Lat/Lon point ALEXEGT for Alexandria Egypt, such that the new HDF file 
will be named ALEXEGTMODXY___.hdf).  

For more detail please see the documentation text files and the summary given
at the top of the FilledMapSubsetter.f90 file.

This code was written by Eric Moody, Cloud Retrieval Group, NASA GSFC, during
April, 2004.  Please contact Eric at moody@climate.gsfc.nasa.gov.
