4.2. Target Bands

The user interface for the quantities to be computed and written to the target product consists of two lists of check boxes (Figure 4.5):

Figure 4.5. Snow Radiance processor: Target Bands Tab Pane

The snow properties which can be selected are:

'Compute snow grain size': If this checkbox is selected, the snow grain size will be computed and written as single band to the target product.
'Compute snow albedo': If this checkbox is selected, the snow albedo will be computed and written as single band to the target product.
'Compute snow soot content': If this checkbox is selected, the snow soot content will be computed and written as single band to the target product.
'Compute emissivity': If this checkbox is selected, the emissivity will be computed and written as single band to the target product. This option is enabled only if both MERIS and AATSR products were given as inputs.
'Compute temperature': If this checkbox is selected, the snow temperature will be computed and written as single band to the target product. This option is enabled only if both MERIS and AATSR products were given as inputs.

The complementary quantities which can be selected are:

'Water vapour (from MERIS)': If this checkbox is selected, the water vapour derived from the MERIS product will be written as single band to the target product.
'NDVI (from MERIS)': If this checkbox is selected, the NDVI derived from the MERIS product will be written as single band to the target product.
'NDSI (from AATSR)': If this checkbox is selected, the NDSI derived from the AATSR product will be written as single band to the target product. This option is enabled only if both MERIS and AATSR products were given as inputs.
'MDSI (from MERIS)': If this checkbox is selected, the MDSI derived from the MERIS product will be written as single band to the target product.
'AATSR L1 flags': If this checkbox is selected, the AATSR L1 flags taken from the AATSR product will be written as single band to the target product. This option is enabled only if both MERIS and AATSR products were given as inputs.
