SeaDAS Tiff 8-bit

[m_brown]

Hello,

I am using l3mapgen to output L3 spatiotemporal composites (created using l2bin/l3bin) as .tiff files. I am noticing that when I subsequently load these .tiff files (into SeaDAS or elsewhere), the data has been converted from float to 8-bit. Is there a way to tell l3mapgen to write the .tiff files out as float, or is there scaling information somewhere in the .tiff metadata to convert the 8-bit values to float? Thanks!

Just to follow up, apologies if I have misunderstood the .tiff format (i.e. that these files may be inherently 8-bit, ranging 0-255). If that's the case, after being loaded in, is there a way to convert the data to their original float values, e.g. with scaling info provided in the metadata?

Thanks!
Mike

Mike,

To get floating point values in the TIFF output from l3mapgen, set 'apply_pal=no' (or false, or 0).
