updated MOD35 processing script to work in separate temporary directories and transfer daily cloud data to lou for archiving in preparation for global processing (which cannot be done in personal directory). Also set up MOD35_Climatology script to be submitted to LDAN queue to run on lou rather than Pleiades. However environment still not set up correctly and script fails when reading netcdf files. Andrew is working on it.

Fixed the 'missing stripes' problem in the climatology script. Source of problem was related to the _FillValue attribute being incorrectly set to a short integer when the data was saved as byte. Changing both the attribute and the data to type 'byte' appears to have fixed the problem.

Discovered possible cause of weird missing data stripes due to identifying missing data as 225.0 rather than 255s

Explored 30-day moving average

Merging with Pleiades copy

minor clean up to MOD35 Climatology

Removed some unsed code from MOD35_climatology. Still having problem of missing data stripes in February means.

Updated MOD35_Climatology to use percentages instead of classes, but there are too many zeros in result

Simplified MOD35 script and converted output to single band p(Clear) rather than multiple bands

Merge branch 'aw/precip' of code.nceas.ucsb.edu:environmental-layers into aw/precip
