Unfortunately, this dataset lacks bands in the red and green regions of the solar spectrum.

This does not help for an optimal deglinting, and also for calibrating/modeling!

	A bad mosaic indeed, for excellent data No visible skyglint or sunglint Limb brightening dictinctly visible A bad row in channel_1 shows in blue Fancy pixels are created upon mosaicking Needs some radiometric improvements Would have needed ILS correction of raw flightlines
