Which l2gen routine computes the total backscatter coefficient (b) from IOP values?
Which l2gen routine computes the total backscatter coefficient (b) from IOP values?
Hi. When using l2gen to calculate QAA IOPs 'b_nnn_qaa' is among the L2 products available (along with 'bb_nnn_qaa' and 'bbp_nnn_qaa'). I've looked through the source codes, but haven't figured out where the 'b' (which I assume is the total scattering coefficient) comes from. I'd like to see how it is done in SeaDAS so I can add the same method to an R implementation of QAA I'm working on. Thanks.

Which l2gen routine computes the total backscatter coefficient (b) from IOP values?
I found this in ocssw-src/src/l2gen/get_qaa.c:310
b = bb * 53.56857 + 0.00765;
don
b = bb * 53.56857 + 0.00765;

Which l2gen routine computes the total backscatter coefficient (b) from IOP values?
Thank you, Don. I missed that when I went though the source code because I looked right past the 'case CAT_b_qaa' block. I appreciate your help. Barry
