THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE AATSR PROCESSING ALGORITHMS AND DATA PRODUCTS

摘要

The AATSR ground segment processor is a crucial component of the AATSR system. Although the AATSR processor makes full use of the ATSR series heritage, a number of improvements have been incorporated both prior to and in the course of the ENVISAT mission, including the retrieval of Land Surface Temperature (LST). This paper describes the current status of the AATSR algorithms and data products, and describes current and future developments, including improvements to the LST algorithm, and the cloud clearing over land, and new SST retrieval coefficients.
