Announcement: SeaDAS 5.0 Update 05 available

NOTES:

-As of this update runtime SeaDAS has been upgraded from IDL 6.1 to IDL 6.3 for all operating systems except for the RedHat 7.3 Linux version. (RedHat 7.3 does not support anything beyond IDL 6.1.) Therefore if you install this update and are an embedded IDL user, you will also need to install the new seadas_idl_rt.tar.gz file for the update to work properly. RedHat 7.3 users should install the seadas_idl_rt_redhat.tar.gz file. To install the new runtime distribution, first "rm  -rf  $SEADAS/idl_rt" and then explode the new runtime distribution file within the $SEADAS directory.

-To install the Intel Mac version of SeaDAS you must do a complete new full installation of SeaDAS either using our online installer or manually.
