Command Line Usage
l2bin 7.1.1 (Jan 30 2025 18:48:02)
7.1.1
Usage: l2bin argument-list
The argument-list is a set of keyword=value pairs. The arguments can
be specified on the commandline, or put into a parameter file, or the
two methods can be used together, with commandline over-riding.
return value: 0=OK, 1=error, 110=north,south,east,west does not intersect
file data.
The list of valid keywords follows:
help (boolean) (alias=h) (default=false) = print usage information
version (boolean) (default=false) = print the version
information
dump_options (boolean) (default=false) = print
information about each option
dump_options_paramfile (ofile) = print
information about each option to paramfile
dump_options_xmlfile (ofile) = print
information about each option to XML file
par (ifile) (alias=parfile) = input parameter file
ifile (ifile) (alias=infile) = input L2 file name
ofile (ofile) (default=output) = output file name
fileuse (ofile) = write filenames of the input files used into this file
suite (string) = suite for default parameters
qual_prod (string) = quality product field name
deflate (int) (default=5) = deflation level. 0=off or 1=low through 9=high
verbose (boolean) (default=off) = Allow more verbose screen messages
night (boolean) (default=off) = set to 1 for SST night processing
qual_max (int) (default=2) = maximum acceptable quality
rowgroup (int) (default=-1) = # of bin rows to process at once.
sday (int) (default=1970001) = start datadate (YYYYDDD) [ignored for "regional" prodtype]
eday (int) (default=2038018) = end datadate (YYYYDDD) [ignored for "regional" prodtype]
latnorth (float) (default=90) = northern most latitude
latsouth (float) (default=-90) = southern most latitude
loneast (float) (default=0) = eastern most longitude
lonwest (float) (default=0) = western most longitude
minobs (int) (default=0) = required minimum number of observations
delta_crossing_time (float) (default=0.0) = equator crossing time delta in
minutes
Caveat...if zero, the sensor default equator crossing time will be used
This is not necessarily noon
resolution (string) (alias=resolve) (default=H) = bin resolution
H: 0.5km
Q: 250m
HQ: 100m
HH: 50m

l3bprod (string) (default=ALL) = l3bprod = bin products [default=all products]
Set to "ALL" or "all" for all L2 products in 1st input file.
Use ':' or ',' or ' ' as delimiters.
Use ';' or '=' to delineate minimum values.
area_weighting (int) (default=0) = Enable area weighting
0: off
1: pixel box

doi (string) = Digital Object Identifier (DOI) string
oprodname (string) = comma separated list of output L3 product names.
This option allows the user to specify the output product names which differ from the original l2 product names.
Usage: original_l2_name:output_l3_name, i.e. oprodname=cloud_flag:cloud_fraction
