SST-NC - Processor Description

The SST In- and Output Parameters tab

Please note: The chapter BEAM Scientific Data Processors provides a general description for all BEAM data processors. It describes the common graphical user interface (GUI), the command-line interface and the common processing request file format.

1. Input product file: Select the input product file by either typing the product path into the text field or by pressing the file selection button to invoke a standard file dialog.
2. Output product file: Select the output product file by either typing the product path into the text field or by pressing the file selection button to invoke a standard file dialog.
3. Output product format: Select one of the available output product formats.
4. Log filename prefix: Select the prefix text used for the logfile written during processing. For a complete description of the logging capabilities please refer to the logging documentation.
5. Extra log to output directory: Select whether to write an additional log file to the directory selected for the output product.

The SST Processing Parameters tab

1. Generate dual-view sst: Select whether to process the dual view SST or not.
2. Coefficient file for dual view: Select one of the available coefficient sets for dual view processing. The list shows the description strings of all coefficient files available.
3. Bitmask for dual-view: Select a bitmask expression to be checked during dual view processing. You can either type the expression manually to the text field or use the bitmask expression editor by pressing the edit button to the right.
4. Generate nadir-view sst: Select whether to process the nadir view SST or not.
5. Coefficient file for nadir view: Select one of the available coefficient sets for nadir view processing. The list shows the description strings of all coefficient files available.
6. Bitmask for nadir-view: Select a bitmask expression to be checked during nadir view processing. You can either type the expression manually to the text field or use the bitmask expression editor by pressing the edit button to the right.
7. Invalid pixel value: Select the value to be written to the output when the processor detects an invalid condition (either by the pixel being masked out or by a processing failure e.g division by zero).

The SST processing request file

The following table describes the SST specific processing request file parameter. For a detailed description of the processing request file concept and file specification please look at the general description section.
