How to solve wavelength limitations? #8

Closed Springder closed 1 year ago

The maximum wavelength is 4.5 microns. What should I do if I need a larger wavelength?

simonrp84 commented 1 year ago

Beyond 4.5 micron there is very little solar radiation, and hence the sea surface reflectance is very small. You could extend the CM_DATA_DICT in CM_Constants.py to include data for higher wavelengths but you would need to find and include this information yourself and because the solar contribution is so small I struggle to think it will be of much value, to be honest.

If you do proceed to include higher wavelengths, though, a pull request with your conclusions would be most welcome!
