As a BEAM plugin, the MERIS Glint processor needs the following software to be installed in advance:
- BEAM, version 4.6 or 4.6.1
The BEAM software can be obtained from the BEAM download page (www.brockmann-consult.de/beam).
The GLINT software delivery consists of four jar files: the AGC and FLINT main modules and adjusted BRR (Bottom of Rayleigh Reflectance) and SDR (Surface Directional Reflectance) modules, which provide additional Java classes used by GLINT.
- flint-processor-1.1.jar
- meris-glint-1.1.jar
- beam-meris-brr-2.0.3-SNAPSHOT.jar
- beam-meris-sdr-2.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
These files need to be copied into the 'modules' folder of the BEAM installation (Figure 2.1). Note that existing versions of these jar files need to be replaced/overwritten. There should not be more than one jar file for each of these modules in the 'modules' folder!
