ocmcal - Performs radiometric calibration on uncalibrated OCM data

This function requires a TeraScan Oceansat license.

SYNOPSIS

ocmcal  [ parameter=value ... ]  [ outputfile ... ]

Parameters are: byte_output, channels.

DESCRIPTION

ocmcal performs radiometric calibration on uncalibrated OCM datasets. The calibration converts counts to radiance. The resulting output datasets contain the calibrated channel data.

PARAMETERS

byte_output

Specifies whether the output is to be saved as 8-bit or 16-bit integer data. In the former case, radiance is converted to 8-bit values by multiplying by 2 and rounding to the nearest integer. In the latter case, radiance is converted to 16-bit values by multiplying by 100 and rounding to the nearest integer.

Valid responses are [yes or no]. The default is no.

channels

This is a list of the OCM channels to calibrate from the OCM dataset. The eight correspond to 412, 443, 490, 510, 555, 670, 765 and 865 nm.

Valid responses are [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. The default is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.

EXAMPLE

Create calibrated output from an OCM TeraScan dataset:

[1] ocmcal
in/out files : char(255) ? o1.00298.1850.tdf o1.00298.1850.cal
byte_output  : char( 3)  ? [no] 
channels     : int ( 8)  ? [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8] 
Processing: o1.00298.1850.tdf: Lines: 10000 Samples: 6020
Line 0
Line 100
Line 200
...etc
