<H4>DBOC</H4>
Specifies the output channel to which the sea surface temperature
information will be written.

It is recommended that this channel be a (32-bit) real channel so
that maximum accuracy can be preserved. However, it is possible to
use 8-bit and 16-bit channels with the following notes in mind:
<P>
<UL>
<LI> If a real channel is specified, the values are saved as computed.
</UL>
<UL>
<LI> If a 16 bit signed channel is specified, only the integer part of
the values are saved. (e.g., 3.7 is saved as 3) 
</UL>
<UL>
<LI> If a 16 bit unsigned channel is specified, only the integer part
of the values are saved and all negative values are set to 0.
(e.g., -2.5 is saved as 0; 3.7 is saved as 3) 
</UL>
<UL>
<LI> If an 8-bit channel is specified, the program will scale
temperature values between -4.1 and 21.4 degrees Celsius to the
range 0 to 255 using the following formula: 
</UL>
<PRE>
        (T + 4.1)*10    where T is the Temperature value

 for example:     T = -4.1; scale to 0
                  T = -4.0; scale to 1
                  T = -3.9; scale to 2
                    ...
                  T = 21.4; scale to 255
</PRE>
Temperatures less than -4.1 are scaled to 0. Temperatures greater
than 21.4 are scaled to 255. A pseudocolour segment is also
automatically generated so that the 8-bit sea surface temperature
results can be viewed in a visually pleasing manner. Please see the
PSEUDOCOLOURS section for further details.
