public class CalibratorMsg

Calibration routines for the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) instrument.

At the time this module was written the McIDAS documentation for the MSG Instrument did not reflect that calibration data is now stored by band in the calibration block.

Current understanding is that an MSG ASCII calibration block should be prefixed by the string MSGT followed by the following 6 values for the Inverse Planck Funciton corresponding to each band:

Name	Calculation	Units
C1W3	C1 * W^3
	C1 = 2.0e5 * P * C^2	radiance/(cm^-1)^3)
	W = 1.0e2 * (band wave numbers)	(cm^-1)
C2W	C2 * W
	C2 = P * C / B	K/(cm^-1)
	W = 1.0e2 * (band wave numbers)	(cm^-1)
ALPHA	gain adjustment
BETA	bias adjustment
GAIN	gain
OFFSET	offset

Where C = speed of light, P = planck constant, B = Boltzmann constant.

Each string value is 17 characters with 10 decimal places (fortran E17.10), and should be parseable using Double.parseDouble. After converting cal block from ints to a string calibration values for the first band, including the header should look like:

MSGT 0.0000000000E+00 0.0000000000E+00 0.0000000000E+00 0.0000000000E+00 0.2312809974E-01-0.1179533087E+01

Constructor Detail

CalibratorMsg

public CalibratorMsg(int[] cal)
              throws CalibratorException

Construct this object according to the calibration data provided. On initalization the calibration array is cloned and all bands available are read from the block.

Parameters:

cal - calibration block from an MSG AREA file.

Throws:

CalibratorException - on invalid calibration block.

CalibratorMsg

public CalibratorMsg(double[][] coefs)
              throws CalibratorException
