For this tool, SCIAMACHY data are limited to the continuous spectral range of Channels 1-6, or 0.24 - 1.75 µm.
Imager-equivalent "pseudo" radiance values are in units of Wm^-2 µm^-1 sr^-1. Pseudo scaled radiance, or reflectance, is a product of the SRF-convolved radiance divided by the SRF-convolved SCIAMACHY solar constant and a factor of π.

The σ-cutoff feature under advanced options uses a default of 5×standard error of the regression to exclude outliers. Set this to 0 to remove this outlier filter.

The Min X and Max X feature under advanced options allows Users to limit the regression to x-axis values inside the selected bounds.
