2.3. Additional Requirements

To be able to process all options properly, the MERIS/(A)ATSR Synergy Toolbox processor needs the following add-ons to be installed in BEAM (if not already done):

MERIS L2 Auxdata module

The MERIS L2 Auxdata can be installed with the BEAM module manager. This is the usual and recommended way. See BEAM help documentation for details (http://www. brockmann-consult.de/beam/doc/help/visat/ModuleManager.html). In case of failure, you can alternatively download and install from the BC ftp site as described above:

again, cd to meris-aatsr-synergy/auxdata
download 'beam-meris-l2auxdata.zip' and 'beam-meris-l2auxdata-1.1.jar'
extract the archive 'beam-meris-l2auxdata.zip' into your $(user.home)/.beam folder
copy the file 'beam-meris-l2auxdata-1.1.jar' into the 'modules' folder of your BEAM installation

IMPORTANT: Note that it is MANDATORY to install the MERIS L2 Auxdata module, otherwise the MERIS/(A)ATSR Synergy Toolbox (and possibly many other tools) will not appear in the BEAM Visat 'Tools' menu!
