DESCRIPTION

       i.aster.toar calculates the Top Of Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance for Terra-ASTER L1B in the
       visible,  NIR  and  SWIR bands (9+1 bands) and brigthness temperature for the TIR bands (5
       bands), all from L1B DN values.  It is useful to apply  after  import  of  original  ASTER
       imagery that is generally in standard DN values range.

       The order of input bands is

           •   VNIR: 1,2,3N,3B

           •   SWIR: 4,5,6,7,8,9

           •   TIR: 10,11,12,13,14
       in one comma-separated list.

NOTES

       Internally,  a  gain code is defined to modify gains according to spectral bands following
       the GeoSystems GmbH ATCOR  Ver.  2.0  Calibration  Files.   The  function  is  defined  in
       gain_aster.c file.
       /*Gain Code*/
           /*0 - High (Not Applicable for band 10-14: TIR)*/
           /*1 - Normal*/
           /*2 - Low 1(Not Applicable for band 10-14: TIR)*/
           /*3 - Low 2(Not Applicable for Band 1-3N/B and 10-14)*/
