How are the thermal bands processed with ASTER imagery?

[rese_support]

The standard multispectral ASTER accepts all 14 bands, but evaluates only the surface temperature with band 13, i.e. the output file has 10 bands (9 surface reflectance, 1 temperature band). In the hyperspectral mode ("sensor/aster14") all thermal bands are processed and there are two output files a) the "aster_atm.bsq" with 15 bands - 9 surface reflectance bands - 5 bands with bb surface radiance (from the original bands 10-14) - 1 surface temperature band(b) the "aster_atm*emiss.bsq" with 5 bands for the emissivities (from bands 10-14) calculated with the selected emissivity option (NEM, ANEM, ISAC).
