Emit Aggregated Spectral Abundance

by ASDC - hazem.mahmoud88 » Sat Jul 13, 2024 1:03 pm America/New_York

Hello,

I am trying to get minerals Aggregated Spectral Abundance from EMIT and I have 2 questions from the attached snapshot:
1. Do I have to divide by 1000 to get the percentage fraction?
2. What is the reason that the submission of the mineral fraction is not equal to 100?

please advise.

Thank you,
Hazem

Hello,
These do not need to be scaled, those are the actual percentages. Please note that those 10 minerals make up just a fraction of what the dust is composed of. This will be the case all the time. So those 10 minerals will probably never make up 100%, or even come close.
Also, Version 2 of this product will be released very soon and it went through a complete make over.
Thanks,
LPDAAC
