Hi,
I am new in IDL language. For reading the CALIPSO satellite data sets
in that what type of cloud type for that they provided read routine.
If I use this routine it is printing on IDL log window. How to store
this information into an string array.
This is the routine
vfm_feature_flags,36282
The output is like this:
Bit set: 2
Bit set: 4
Bit set: 5
Bit set: 6
Bit set: 8
Bit set: 9
Bit set: 11
Bit set: 12
Bit set: 16
Feature Type : cloud
Feature Subtype : cirrus (transparent)
Feature Type QA : high
Ice/Water Phase : ice
Ice/Water Phase QA: high
Cloud/Aerosol/PSC Type QA : not confident
Horizontal averaging required for detection: 20 km
The above information i want to store in string array.

; this routine demonstrates how to read and extract values from a
feature
