I am using L2gen to find OLI matchups. I am wondering if you apply any vicarious gain coefficients to the output top of the atmosphere reflectance, or is it the actual recorded value of OLI instead?
Thanks!

Re: vicarious gain coefficients to rhot
For Landsat8/OLI, yes:
grep ^gain $OCDATAROOT/oli/l8/msl12_defaults.par
gain=[1.0111,1.0101,1.0070,1.0098,1.00,1.00,1.00]
The configuration for L9 was just copied from L8, so by default it has the same gains...probably shouldn't though.
If you want the values "as is", when running l2gen,
set: gain=[1.00,1.00,1.00,1.00,1.00,1.00,1.00]
AND
either comment out these lines in the $OCDATAROOT/oli/msl12_filter.dat file:
ltmean, 1, 7, 7, 1
ltmean, 2, 7, 7, 1
ltmean, 3, 7, 7, 1
ltmean, 4, 7, 7, 1
ltmean, 5, 7, 7, 1
ltmean, 6, 7, 7, 1
ltmean, 7, 7, 7, 1
OR define a blank file to pass to l2gen as the filter_file
