Previous Next Up Topic SeaDAS / SeaDAS 6.x - General Questions / operational atmospheric correction scheme (locked) (1919 hits)

Hello,

I read that the operational atmospheric correction scheme corresponded to the option -2 in SeaDAS. But, if I did not mistakes, it seems that it's -3 (at least for SeaWiFS) when I check the .par file. I processed images with command line and GUI and  it's always -3. Is it just a misprint in the par file or is it a bug?

Thank you,

Hey Cedric,

It is not a problem  The only difference between -3 and -2 is that -2 uses RH to limit the model suite prior to model selection. The code will automatically switch to RH-based model selection (-2) if the number of models is 30 or more and they contain RH meta-data.  This logic was needed to support compatibility with old and new model suites during the transition.  I didn't want the SeaDAS GUI to be making these decisions when setting defaults, so I just told the SeaDAS developers to leave it as -3 for all sensors and we handled it within l2gen.
