Help for ALPHAE_RE

Program to calculate alpha emissivity by iteration.  

PARAMETERS:


INP

Input radiance at sensor dataset (Halfword) in radiance (mW/m*m/um/sr)

OUT

Root name for output. Root will have ".1", ".2" etc appended for each iteration. Output includes emissivity and an extra band of temperature. All output data in Halfword. Emissivity data *1.0e4. Temperature data degrees*100.

SL

Starting line

NL

Number of lines

AMODEL

Selects the model for which the atmospheric corrections will be performed via LOWTRAN/MODTRAN

ATEMP

Selects atmospheric temperature and pressure profiles, if different from that defaulted with AMODEL.

AHUMID

Selects the atmospheric water vapor model, if different from that defaulted with AMODEL.

AOZONE

Selects the ozone model, if different from that defaulted with AMODEL.

HEIGHT

Aircraft altitude (km above MSL)

DATUM

Surface elevation (km above MSL)

NLAYERS

The number of atmospheric lay- ers in the radiosonde data (if used).

ALTITUDE

The altitudes of each of the atmospheric layers given in the radiosonde data. (km.)

PRESSURE

The atmospheric pressures of each of the atmospheric lay- ers given in the radiosonde data. (mb.)

TEMP

The temperatures of the at- mospheric layers given in the radiosonde data. (deg C)

WATER

The water profile in terms of the parameter WTYPE, for each layer in the radiosonde data.

WTYPE

The units in which H2OS are given. The three types are relative humidity (RH), dew- point (DP), and density (DE)

WATERFAC

Varies the moisture profile by the factor specified

O3FAC

Varies the ozone profile by the factor specified

CO2FAC

Varies the carbon dioxide profile by the factor specified

SO2FAC

Varies the sulfur dioxide profile by the factor specified

CH4FAC

Varies the methane profile by the factor specified

O2FAC

Varies the oxygen profile by the factor specified

E

The emissivity assumed for each band.

DATE

Date of data acquisition. Used to override the date in the VICAR label (yymmdd)

ATMODEL

Atmospheric model to be used (LOWTRAN or MODTRAN)

WAVE

the central wavelength for the input channels, in micrometers. (1 value per channel)

NITER

Number of iterations.
