This tab pane (Figure 4.2) consists of three subpanels.

4.2.1. 'Processing' Subpanel

  • 'Where to apply the AE algorithm': This drop-down menu provides the following options where the AE algorithm shall be applied (see alsoFigure 4.3):
    • Coastal regions over the ocean
    • Everywhere over the ocean
    • Coastal regions over ocean and land
    • Everywhere
Drop-down menu for the selection of the area to apply the AE correction

4.2.2. 'Aerosol Type Determination' Subpanel

  • 'Reference wavelength (nm)': A text field to enter the reference wavelength for Angstrom and AOT values below. The default is 550nm..
  • 'Angstrom': A text field to enter the Angstrom coefficient. The default is -1, the valid interval is [-2.1, -0.4].
  • 'AOT': A text field to enter the aerosol optical thickness. The default is 0.2, the valid interval is [0.0, 1.5].
  • 'Over water, compute aerosol type by AE algorithm': If this checkbox is selected, the aerosol type over water used for the AE correction will be determined by the algorithm itself. Otherwise, it will be taken from the Angstrom/AOT combination as set by the user above (same as over land).

4.2.3. 'Advanced Options' Subpanel

  • 'Perform convolution with OpenCL (for unique aerosol type only, GPU hardware required)':

    This option is in an experimental stage and disabled in the current ICOL version.
