The core visualization package of SeaDAS is written in Java. A minimum Java JRE of version 1.8 is required. A suitable JRE is packaged with the Windows and MacOSX distributions. Linux users will need to separately install a suitable JRE.
Operating Systems: Linux: tested on Ubuntu (16.04 LTS, 20.04 LTS), CentOS 7 Intel Mac: OS X 10.15 Windows 10
Optional Compilers: gcc/g++/gfortran (versions 8 and 9 have been tested)
| Program | Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Java | JRE 1.8 | Windows and MacOSX distributions come with a suitable JRE Linux users will need to separately install a suitable JRE |
| Bash | 4.x | necessary only for science code, version 3.x should work, but not tested |
| Python | 3.6 or above | necessary only for science code, Requests library (2.18.0 or greater) must also be installed |
The requirement for Earthdata Login authentication for data downloads caused issues for the SeaDAS python scripts that are used for retrieving ancillary data. These scripts have now been updated to work with authentication using the Requests Library.
The authentication requires a .netrc file as described on the Search and Download Methods page.
