4) The gdal command for applying QA_flag to Level-2/Level-3 products

Here is an example of applying QA_flag information to SIST data created with the "SGLI Map projection & GeoTIFF conversion tool."
Convert the SIST and QA_flag to GeoTIFF using option "-c" in the "SGLI Map projection & GeoTIFF conversion tool."
The following command extracts data for which the flag of the 4th-6th bit (snow coverage) in a pixel set in QA of SIST is other than "111 (7)" and the flag of the 2nd bit (cloud coverage) is "0 (0)." The flag is "0" or "1."
Information on SIST's QA_flag can be found in the "Products and Algorithms" section of the EORC GCOM-C website (https://suzaku.eorc.jaxa.jp/GCOM_C/data/update/Algorithm_SIPR_en.html).

  • --A_band=2: Set the order in GeoTIFF where QA_flag is stored
  • --outfile: Set any output file name for calculation results
  • --calc: Set up calculation formulas
  • (A >> 4) & 7: Shift the bit information by 4 bits to the right. Only the upper bits are left. Also, extract the 4th-6th bit by bit AND calculation.
  • < 7: Extracts data where the extracted 4-6 bits have a snow cover of 111(7) or less.
  • (A >> 2) & 1: Shift the bit information by 4 bits to the right. Only the upper bits are left. Also, the second bit is extracted by bit AND calculation.
  • == 0: Extracts data in which the extracted 2 bits have no clouds of 0 (zero).
  • * 1: If all the conditional expressions are satisfied, "1" is set. For convenience, "*1" is set, but it does not matter if "*1" is not set, since "1" will be set if the expressions are satisfied.
  • --NoDataValue: Set an invalid value

Example of bit calculation

* A >> 4 or right_shift(A, 4) ------ If A has the pixel value (decimal: 18431) "01000111111111111111", it is shifted right by 4. The data will be for "010001111111".
* A & 7 or bitwise_and(A, 7) ------ Performs a "111" (decimal: 7) bit operation on the pixel value of A. Extract 4-6 bits of the original data.

7) Converting to a physical quantity

When converted to GeoTIFF using the SGLI Map projection & GeoTIFF conversion tool, the coefficients (slope/offset) of the geophysical conversion are output to an XML file created at the same time.
Display in a text editor or browser.

Below is an example of SIST XML.
Substitute the values of <Slope> and <Offset> into the formulas in <Data_description> to convert pixel values into physical quantities.

<Data_description>Snow and ice surface temperature based on model snow (SIST): SIST = slope*DN + offset</Data_description> <Slope>5.525000e-004</Slope>
<Offset>2.400000e+002</Offset>

the gdal command is used, the values converted with the following command are stored.
The Slope and offset values can be left as "5.525000e-004 and 2.400000e+002".
