Command Line Usage
SeaDAS-OCSSW -> extractor
l1aextract_seawifs is used to create a sub-scene file by extracting and/or sub-sampling from an original SeaWiFS L1A file. The output file is an HDF file and has the same format as the original L1A file.
The l1aextract_seawifs GUI allows the user to specify either the pixel/line ranges, the lat/lon ranges, or the two lat/lon corner points for the subscene to be extracted.

Usage: l1aextract_seawifs infile spix epix sscan escan pix_sub sc_sub outfile
where:
infile - input l1a data HDF file
spix - start pixel number
epix - end pixel number
sscan - start scan line
escan - end scan line
pix_sub - pixel subsampling rate
sc_sub - scan line subsampling rate
outfile - output file name
NOTE: Start and End pixel/scanline will be set to input file's nsamp
and nrec respectively, if, the given values are out of range
