Using with the Satellite Active Archive (SAA)

If you regularly use the SAA, you might find one small feature of WXtrack very helpful when browsing for data.  You can drag a dataset name, e.g. NSS.GHRR.NJ.D01206.S2210.E0003.B3385961.GC from your browser window onto WXtrack, and it wil, attempt to decode the string into the satellite type, the date, and the starting time of the pass.  This will immediately set the WXtrack Map display to the start of the SAA pass.  In fact, you don't need the full string, only the part up to and including the "S2210" i.e. the start file.  In the example above "NSS.GHRR.NJ.D01206.S2210" would have been enough.
