Paths and names of the neural network files: a relative path is assumed to be relative to ${USER_HOME}\.beam\beam-meris-eutrophic-lakes\auxdata\.
2 inputValidMask not l1_flags.INVALID An arithmetic expression which defines the valid pixels for the processing. Pixels which are not valid are skipped by the processor.
3 landWaterSeparationExpression
cloudIceDetectionExpression
toa_reflec_10 > toa_reflec_6 AND toa_reflec_13 > 0.0475
toa_reflec_14 > 0.2
These expressions can be edited to change the separation from land and water, respectively the detection of cloud and ice. Within the expression all tie-point grids and the 15 toa_reflec bands can be used.
4 performSmileCorrection true Switch the smile correction on and off.
5 performPolCorr false Controls if the polarisation correction should be included in the atmospheric correction procedure. This part is presently very experimental and has not been verified so far.
6 performAtmosphericCorrection true If the build-in atmospheric correction is switched the input product must honor the following rules:
- All tie-point grids of the MERIS L1b product, namely: latitude, longitude, sun_zenith, sun_azimuth, view_zenith, view_azimuth, dem_alt, ozone, atm_press, dem_alt, zonal_wind, merid_wind, rel_hum - The flags band of MERIS L1b l1_flags - 15 bands named reflec_1 .. reflec_15

true
true
true
true
Select which of the IOP products shall be included in the output file. All are given for MERIS band 2 (443 nm).
outputBTsm := scattering coefficient of all particles
outpuAPig := absorption coefficient of phytoplankton pigments
outputAGelb := absorption coefficient of yellow substance and of all particles after bleaching
outputATotal := total absorption of water constituents
outputABtsm := absorption of all particles
8 outputKmin
outputZ90max
true
true
Select which of the transparency variables shall be included in the output file.
outputKmin := downwelling irradiance attenuation coefficient
outputZ90max := inverted value of Kmin
9 outputChlConc
outputTsmConc
true
true
Select which of the concentrations shall be included in the output file.
outputChlConc := chlorophyll concentration (mg m-3)
outputTsmConc := total suspended matter dry weight (g m-3)
10 outputAngstrom
outputTau
true
true
Controls the output of the angstrom coefficient (ang_443_865) and the spectral aerosol optical depth (tau_550).
11 outputOutOfScopeChiSquare true Controls the Output of the chi2 value, i.e. the squared difference between measured and simulated water leaving radiance reflectances, shall be included in the product. A low value in the product indicates a higher success in the retrieval and that the conditions, which have led to the measured spectrum, are in (sufficient) agreement with the conditions and the bio-optical model used in the simulations for training the neural network. A value above a threshold of presently 4.0 triggers the out of training range == out of scope flag.
