Lidar Simulation Model: Hardware and Software


The LSM was designed on a HP APOLLO 9000 series 700 Model 715/50 workstation using the HP-UX operating system and the HP VUE window environment. All LSM inputs and graphic routines are coded in HP C and use OSF/Motif. The Doppler Lidar Simulation Model is coded in HP FORTRAN/9000. The color contour graphics are a hybrid of Xlib and a commercial off the shelf package (XRT/3d for Motif).

A PC version of the LSM has been delevoped using the COTS package, Surfer, for graphics. Recently, the LSM was ported to a Sun Sparc Workstation. The graphics toolbox is being modified to support JPL's LinkWinds.

It is intended to port the LSM to a CRAY C90 in late spring 1998 for a series of NPOESS OSSEs.
