SVC with POLYMER v4.10 for OLCI-A

Post by MohMograne »

Dear all,
I have question about the updated SVC of OLCI-A. Which water case (Case 1 or Case 2) has been used to compute the SVC gains ?
Regards,
Mohamed

Hi Mohamed,
Case 1 matchups over MOBY and BOUSSOLE have been used for OLCI Polymer SVC (and all Polymer SVC, actually).
Kind regards,

Dear François,

I saw inside the Polymer folders one file called "params.py" and inside it are the "# OLCI vicarious calibration coefficients (in dev, bands 1 to 21)".

I would like to ask you some questions concerning the OLCI SVC:
1) This values are the SVC applied to OLCIA and OLCIB?
2) How Polymer does to not apply the same OLCIA SVC coefficients in the OLCIB files?
3) I am running the Polymer v4.11. Are some update related with the OLCI SVC in the v4.12 that I should change to the last version?

Thank you very much for the help,
Joao Santos.

Dear Joao,

Indeed, the same SVC gains are applied to both OLCI instruments because specific gains for OLCI-B have not yet been generated.

However in v4.11, the gains were set to 1, as you can see on line 332 (self.calib=None). The variable `calib_OLCI_VC` on line 55 is not used actually.
In v4.12, the SVC gains are defined, but identically for OLCI-A and OLCI-B. So yes, I advise to use the latest version.

If you want to pass your own calibration coefficients, you can pass the option calib={400: 1.0, ...} (following the parameter self.calib defined in params.py) to the function run_atm_corr.

Kind regards,
François
