NAME

   amsu.fcdr.gridded.AmsuFcdrL1cIndex.java

PURPOSE

   Set flag and index for each scan in level-1c files in quality control and temporal alignment. 

DESCRIPTION

       This class are used to set flag and index for each scan in the quality control and temporal alignment step 
   in generating gridded AMSU-A brightness temperature FCDR. There are 10800 time splots each day 
   ( 8 seconds each, for 24 hours ). If a scan failed to pass quality control, the flag will be set to false. 
   If a scan passes quality control, and is selected in generating gridded data, the index will be calculated based on scan time.
   If a scan passes quality control, but the corresponding time slot has been assigned because of repetition, 
   the flag will be set to false.
