NAME
main.l1c.r2o.sh
PURPOSE
To generate AMSU-A level 1c FCDR for all satellites
DESCRIPTION
This is the main script for generating AMSU-A level 1c FCDR for all satellites. It first setups Java environment, the degree of concurrent processing, and various configuration parameters for the Java main program, include directories for inputs and outputs, variables to be generated in the netCDF level 1c files, set of IMICA calibration coefficients to be used, and limb correction method.
