SEBS Processor

The SEBS Processor uses the Surface Energy Balance System to calculate evaporative fraction and evapotranspiration using AATSR bands btemp_nadir_1200 and btemp_nadir_1100, and atmospherically corrected bands reflec_nadir_0870 and reflec_nadir_0670. This simple processor does not take any flags into account, it just performs the calculation over the whole product.
