Observation Zenith Angle

The Observation Zenith Angle (OZA), also called Incidence Angle, is the angle between the satellite vector and the local zenith measured at the observation point.

When the OZA constraint is active any swath with OZA outside of the defined minimum and maximum values will be discarded.

You can also configure limits for the OZA at the swath edges via the Edge Minimum and Edge Maximum. This is useful to constrain the Autosteering mode to select a reduced set of candidate beams that fulfill the constrain and discard the others.
