Details

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.

Command Line Usage

    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
