[GRASS-dev] compile 6S library in GRASS

[Stefan Blumentrath]

Hi,

I would like to second Markus on that one.

We considered using AERONET for atmospheric correction in i.atcorr, but ended up using arbitrary / averaged values, cause AERONET data for our locations was very, very sparse and showed very high variation.

So, in a module, that compiles a 6s-parameter file, I would be happy if there was an option for providing manual values, ideally accompanied by fetching AOT values from other sources (e.g. AEORNET, MODIS).

Could be like in v.to.rast, where you have a “use” option (here e.g. with “value”, “aeronet”, “modis” choice), accompanied by “aot_value” to provide values manually, “aot_aeronet” option to provide input file or “aot_modis” which could be a raster map option the module extracts values from (producing that map(s) would be a user task).

Just a suggestion.

Kind regards,
Stefan

With AOT you mean aerosol optical thickness right? This is user input to i.atcorr. There are various sources for AOT at 550nm, e.g. MODIS.

Anyway, it is probably much easier to to write your own routine to read the AERONET file and get the corresponding formula for AOT than to fight with 51821 lines of Fortran source code that is numerically unstable. Maybe I can help with getting AOT at 550nm from an AERONET file avoiding the Fortran version of 6S.
