Adding AC algorithms to Seadas 8.3.0 on Windows

[tager]

How do I implement an alternative AC algorithm in Seadas 8.3.0?
In my case, I am trying to add the AC algorithm by Singh et al. 2019 in the l2gen processor on a Windoes computer.

The code is available at https://github.com/rakeshkstp/AtmosphericCorrection

OCSSW cannot be built on Windows. Here is the requirement and how to build OCSSW https://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/build_ocssw/

If you have SeaDAS 8.3.0 installed on linux or mac, you can install OCSSW with the source code, and follow the instructions here https://github.com/rakeshkstp/AtmosphericCorrection to modify the OCSSW code and compile them

Thank you very much for your reply.

Guess I will have to install Linux on my PC then.

best,

While the code does not compile (or run) natively on Windows, you can install WSL (Window Subsystem for Linux) and compile under it on a Windows machine without needing to load Linux natively on the system.
You could also use a Docker container with a Linux OS (via Docker Desktop, for example).
