DESCRIPTION

i.atcorr performs atmospheric correction on the input raster map using the 6S algorithm (Second Simulation of Satellite Signal in the Solar Spectrum). A detailed algorithm description is available at the Land Surface Reflectance Science Computing Facility website.

Important note: Current region settings are ignored! The region is adjusted to cover the input raster map before the atmospheric correction is performed. The previous settings are restored afterwards. This flag tells i.atcorr to try and speedup calculations. However, this option will increase memory requirements.

If flag -r is used, the input raster data are treated as reflectance. Otherwise, the input raster data are treated as radiance values and are converted to reflectance at the i.atcorr runtime. The output data are always reflectance.

Note that the satellite overpass time has to be specified in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

An example 6S parameters:

8                            - geometrical conditions=Landsat ETM+
2 19 13.00 -47.410 -20.234   - month day hh.ddd longitude latitude ("hh.ddd" is in decimal hours GMT)
1                            - atmospheric mode=tropical
1                            - aerosols model=continental
15                           - visibility [km] (aerosol model concentration)
-0.600                       - mean target elevation above sea level [km] (here 600m asl)
-1000                        - sensor height (here, sensor on board a satellite)
64                           - 4th band of ETM+ Landsat 7

If the position is not available in longitude-latitude (WGS84), the m.proj conversion module can be used to reproject from a different projection.

B. Atmospheric model

Code	Meaning
0	no gaseous absorption
1	tropical
2	midlatitude summer
3	midlatitude winter
4	subarctic summer
5	subarctic winter
6	us standard 62
7	Define your own atmospheric model as a set of the following 5 parameters per each measurement: altitude [km] pressure [mb] temperature [k] h2o density [g/m3] o3 density [g/m3] For example: there is one radiosonde measurement for each altitude of 0-25km at a step of 1km, one measurment for each altitude of 25-50km at a step of 5km, and two single measurements for altitudes 70km and 100km. This makes 34 measurments. In that case, there are 34*5 values to input.
8	Define your own atmospheric model providing values of the water vapor and ozone content: uw [g/cm2] uo3 [cm-atm] The profile is taken from us62.

C. Aerosols model

Code	Meaning	Details
0	no aerosols
1	continental model
2	maritime model
3	urban model
4	shettle model for background desert aerosol
5	biomass burning
6	stratospheric model
7	define your own model	Enter the volumic percentage of each component: c(1) = volumic % of dust-like c(2) = volumic % of water-soluble c(3) = volumic % of oceanic c(4) = volumic % of soot All values between 0 and 1.
8	define your own model	Size distribution function: Multimodal Log Normal (up to 4 modes).
9	define your own model	Size distribution function: Modified gamma.
10	define your own model	Size distribution function: Junge Power-Law.
11	define your own model	Sun-photometer measurements, 50 values max, entered as: r and d V / d (logr) where r is the radius [micron], V is the volume, d V / d (logr) [cm3/cm2/micron]. Followed by: nr and ni for each wavelength where nr and ni are respectively the real and imaginary part of the refractive index.

D. Aerosol concentration model (visibility)

If you have an estimate of the meteorological parameter visibility v, enter directly the value of v [km] (the aerosol optical depth (AOD) will be computed from a standard aerosol profile).

If you have an estimate of aerosol optical depth, enter 0 for the visibility and in a following line enter the aerosol optical depth at 550nm (iaer means 'i' for input and 'aer' for aerosol), for example:

0                            - visibility
0.112                        - aerosol optical depth 550 nm

NOTE: if iaer is 0, enter -1 for visibility.

E. Target altitude (xps), sensor platform (xpp)

Target altitude (xps, in negative [km]):

xps >= 0 means the target is at the sea level.
otherwise xps expresses the altitude of the target (e.g., mean elevation) in [km], given as negative value

Sensor platform (xpp, in negative [km] or -1000):

xpp = -1000 means that the sensor is on board a satellite.
xpp = 0 means that the sensor is at the ground level.
-100 < xpp < 0 defines the altitude of the sensor expressed in [km]; this altitude is given relative to the target altitude as negative value.

For aircraft simulations only (xpp is neither equal to 0 nor equal to -1000):

puw,po3 (water vapor content,ozone content between the aircraft and the surface)
taerp (the aerosol optical thickness at 550nm between the aircraft and the surface)
If these data are not available, enter negative values for all of them. puw,po3 will then be interpolated from the us62 standard profile according to the values at the ground level. taerp will be computed according to a 2km exponential profile for aerosol.

F. Sensor band

There are two possibilities: either define your own spectral conditions (codes -2, -1, 0, or 1) or choose a code indicating the band of one of the pre-defined satellites.

Define your own spectral conditions:

Code Meaning

-2 Enter wlinf, wlsup.
The filter function will be equal to 1 over the whole band (as iwave=0) but step by step output will be printed.

-1 Enter wl (monochr. cond, gaseous absorption is included).

0 Enter wlinf, wlsup.
The filter function will be equal to 1over the whole band.

1 Enter wlinf, wlsup and user's filter function s(lambda) by step of 0.0025 micrometer.

EXAMPLES

Atmospheric correction of a LANDSAT-7 channel

The example is based on the North Carolina sample dataset (GMT -5 hours). First we set the computational region to the satellite map, e.g. channel 4:

g.region raster=lsat7_2002_40 -p

It is important to verify the available metadata for the sun position which has to be defined for the atmospheric correction. An option is to check the satellite overpass time with sun position as reported in the metadata file (file copy; North Carolina sample dataset). In case of the North Carolina sample dataset, values have been stored for each channel and can be retrieved like this:

r.info lsat7_2002_40

In this case, we have: SUN_AZIMUTH = 120.8810347, SUN_ELEVATION = 64.7730999.

If the sun position metadata are unavailable, we can also calculate them from the overpass time as follows (r.sunmask uses SOLPOS):

r.sunmask -s elev=elevation out=dummy year=2002 month=5 day=24 hour=10 min=42 sec=7 timezone=-5
# .. reports: sun azimuth: 121.342461, sun angle above horz.(refraction corrected): 65.396652

If the overpass time is unknown, use the NASA LaRC Satellite Overpass Predictor.

Conversion of digital number (DN) to radiance at top-of-atmosphere (TOA)

For Landsat and ASTER, the conversion can be conveniently done with i.landsat.toar or i.aster.toar, respectively.

In case of different satellites, the conversion of DN (digital number = pixel values) to radiance at top-of-atmosphere (TOA) can also be done manually, using e.g. the formula

# formula depends on satellite sensor, see respective metadata
Lλ = ((LMAXλ - LMINλ)/(QCALMAX-QCALMIN)) * (QCAL-QCALMIN) + LMINλ

where:

Lλ = Spectral Radiance at the sensor's aperture in Watt/(meter squared * ster * µm), the apparent radiance as seen by the satellite sensor;
QCAL = the quantized calibrated pixel value in DN;
LMINλ = the spectral radiance that is scaled to QCALMIN in watts/(meter squared * ster * µm);
LMAXλ = the spectral radiance that is scaled to QCALMAX in watts/(meter squared * ster * µm);
QCALMIN = the minimum quantized calibrated pixel value (corresponding to LMINλ) in DN;
QCALMAX = the maximum quantized calibrated pixel value (corresponding to LMAXλ) in DN=255.

LMINλ and LMAXλ are the radiances related to the minimal and maximal DN value, and are reported in the metadata file for each image, or in the table 1. High gain or low gain is also reported in the metadata file of each satellite image. For Landsat, the minimal DN value (QCALMIN) is 1 for Landsat ETM+ images (see Landsat handbook, see chapter 11), and the maximal DN value (QCALMAX) is 255. QCAL is the DN value for every separate pixel in the Landsat image.

We extract the coefficients and apply them in order to obtain the radiance map:

r.info lsat7_2002_${CHAN}0 -h | tr '\n' ' ' | sed 's+ ++g' | tr ':' '\n' | grep "LMIN_BAND${CHAN}\|LMAX_BAND${CHAN}"
LMAX_BAND4=241.100,p016r035_7x20020524.met
LMIN_BAND4=-5.100,p016r035_7x20020524.met

QCALMIN_BAND4=1.0,p016r035_7x20020524.met

Conversion to radiance (this calculation is done for band 4, for the other bands, the numbers in italics need to be replaced with their related values):

r.mapcalc "lsat7_2002_40_rad = ((241.1 - (-5.1)) / (255.0 - 1.0)) * (lsat7_2002_40 - 1.0) + (-5.1)"

Again, the r.mapcalc calculation is only needed when working with satellite data other than Landsat or ASTER.

Creation of parameter file for i.atcorr

The underlying 6S model is parametrized through a control file, indicated with the parameter option. This is a text file defining geometrical and atmospherical conditions of the satellite overpass. Below some details:

# find mean elevation (target above sea level, used as initialization value in control file)
r.univar elevation

Create a control file 'icnd.txt' for channel 4 (NIR), based on metadata. For the overpass time, we need to define decimal hours:
10:42:07 NC local time = 10.70 decimal hours (decimal minutes: 42 * 100 / 60) which is 15.70 GMT:

8                            - geometrical conditions=Landsat ETM+
5 24 15.70 -78.691 35.749    - month day hh.ddd longitude latitude ("hh.ddd" is in GMT decimal hours)
2                            - atmospheric mode=midlatitude summer
1                            - aerosols model=continental
50                           - visibility [km] (aerosol model concentration)
-0.110                       - mean target elevation above sea level [km]
-1000                        - sensor on board a satellite
64                           - 4th band of ETM+ Landsat 7

Finally, run the atmospheric correction (-r for reflectance input map; -a for date >July 2000):

i.atcorr -r -a lsat7_2002_40_rad elev=elevation parameters=icnd_lsat4.txt output=lsat7_2002_40_atcorr

Note that the altitude value from 'icnd_lsat4.txt' file is read at the beginning to compute the initial transform. It is necessary to give a value which could be the mean value of the elevation model. For the atmospheric correction then the raster elevation values are used from the map.

Note that the process is computationally intensive.
Note also, that i.atcorr reports solar elevation angle above horizon rather than solar zenith angle.

REMAINING DOCUMENTATION ISSUES

1. The influence and importance of the visibility value or map should be explained, also how to obtain an estimate for either visibility or aerosol optical depth at 550nm.
