NAME

i.aster.toar - Calculates Top of Atmosphere Radiance/Reflectance/Brightness Temperature from ASTER DN.

KEYWORDS

imagery, Terra-ASTER, DN, radiance, reflectance, brightness temperature

SYNOPSIS

i.aster.toar
i.aster.toar help
i.aster.toar [-rabcde] input=name[,name,...] dayofyear=float sun_elevation=float output=name [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:

-r
Output is radiance (W/m2)
-a
VNIR is High Gain
-b
SWIR is High Gain
-c
VNIR is Low Gain 1
-d
SWIR is Low Gain 1
-e
SWIR is Low Gain 2
--overwrite
Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output

Parameters:

input=name[,name,...]
Names of ASTER DN layers (15 layers)
dayofyear=float
Day of Year of satellite overpass [0-366]
sun_elevation=float
Sun elevation angle (degrees, < 90.0)
output=name
Base name of the output layers (will add .x)

DESCRIPTION

i.aster.toar calculates the Top Of Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance for Terra-Aster L1B in the visible, NIR and SWIR bands (9+1 bands) and brigthness temperature for the TIR bands (5 bands), all from L1B DN values. It is useful after importing your Aster imagery from storage format that is generally in standard DN values range. The order of input bands is VNIR: 1,2,3N,3B, SWIR: 4,5,6,7,8,9 TIR: 10,11,12,13,14 in one comma-separated list.

NOTES

Internally, a gain code is defined to modify gains according to spectral bands following the GeoSystems GmbH ATCOR Ver. 2.0 Calibration Files. The function is defined in gain_aster.c file.
/*Gain Code*/
    /*0 - High (Not Applicable for band 10-14: TIR)*/
    /*1 - Normal*/
    /*2 - Low 1(Not Applicable for band 10-14: TIR)*/
    /*3 - Low 2(Not Applicable for Band 1-3N/B and 10-14)*/
