The Sentinel-3 Synergy prototype processor aims at prototyping production algorithms used for the SYN branch of ESA's Sentinel-3 Mission.

The Synergy processor can produce the following products:

1. Aerosol and surface directional reflectance retrieved from both OLCI and SLSTR observations
2. VGT-Continuity VGT-P
3. VGT-Continuity VGT-S

1. Use camel-case style for class and variable names, where the former begin with a capital letter and the latter begin with a lower case letter
2. Declare pointer variables as 'type* name' not 'type *name' or 'type * name'
3. Do not use global 'using ' directives; use specific 'using ::' directives instead
4. Include system header files before project header files
5. Order include directives alphabetically
6. Order 'using ...' directives alphabetically
7. In class declarations the public part comes before the private part
8. Write '(x)' but not '( x )'
9. Write 'a = b', 'a + b' etc. but not 'a=b', 'a+b' etc.

The software requires the following libraries, which might not be installed by default:

1. Boost 1.48.0 or higher
2. Apache Xerces-C 3.1.1 or higher
3. XQilla 2.2.4 or higher
4. NetCDF 4.1.3 or higher
5. CppUnit 1.12 or higher
6. CMake 2.8.2 or higher

It is required that the libraries are installed to '/usr', '/usr/local' or '${HOME}/usr'.

Install any library needed as dependency, if not already installed. Change to a directory where you want to host a copy of the source tree. Then type

git clone git://github.com/bcdev/s3-synergy.git

The complete source tree will be copied from the repository. Then move the ADF into the 'files' directory and the Sentinel-3 L1c test data into the 'testdata/SY1' directory of the source tree. Now you are ready for building the software.

For the first build:

1. Change to the project root directory
2. Type 'cmake .'
3. Type 'cmake -i' and adapt the prompted variables to your needs
4. Type 'make install'

For subsequent builds simply type 'make install'.

1. Change to the project root directory
2. Type 'cmake -G Xcode .'
3. Type 'cmake -i' and adapt the prompted variables to your needs

Then use Xcode for building. Alternatively, you may also use GNU make for building in a manner analogous to the build instruction for Linux.
