Updated script to accurately set paths for HEG tool to facilitate parallel processing of gridding procedure using swtif. Multicore package is used to parallelize which limits processing to a single node. Next step is to explore use of foreach package to allow multiple nodes

Updated MOD06 process to output NetCDF files instead of geotif for faster post-processing

Resolved problem with temporary directory for Rscript call.

Script is successfully running and producing the summary files, though the output looks strange. Maybe a problem with sinusoidal output of HEG? Use Pleiades.R to drive the submission and MOD06_L2_process as the processing script

Successfully running MOD06 processing on Pleiades as an array job (though submissions are limited to < 365 jobs so will have to find another way to submit them)

Started working with script to process MOD05 on NASA's Pleiades

Added script to evaluate climatic stationarity (Task #479)

Updates to run 12 months of mean daily precipitation using a variety of models. Includes using gamm() to incorporate spatial effects in addition to the smooth parameters. Not all clean and cozy yet, uploading as a work-in-progress...

Further updates to interpolation procedures including:

1) bugfix in MOD06_L2_data_compile. Root access is needed to run swtif in its current directory (bad design!).
2) Switched to UTM output from swtif (from sinusoidal) becuase it looked like gdal was struggling with integerized sinusoidal...

Modified GAM.R interpolation script to 1) simplify validation results, 2) add full prediction (rather than just stations) and 3) some other (hopefully) simplifications and improvements.
