Bayesian SST Products:
Format of the new files:   
Binary random access files with no extra bytes between records. All records are ascii or 1-byte integers, 
so that byte-swapping should not be an issue.
The new files have 3 sections:
Header record:  Includes record length and other basic metadata
SST records:     SST values for the entire region - scaled to 1 byte
Pclear records    Bayesian cloud probability estimate, log-scaled to 1 byte
In addition to the new files we are also generating files in the old file format, which includes
scaled SST values only, with no metadata and no cloud probability estimates.  These old format 
files are generating by applying a mask to the SST records cut off at a specified Cloud 
Probability threshold.

The SST results are, as before, represented on a rectangular lat/lon grid
The Format of the header record:
ASCII record consisting 
 	ver	Version ID - 8 characters - may be blank
	ncol	Record length in bytes - also, number of pixels in one line
	nhrec	Number of header records (always 1, for now)
	nrow	Number of lines in grid
	x0	longitude, in degrees, of NW corner of grid (center of pixel)
	dx	longitude stepsize, in degrees
        dy      the N-S cell size in degrees.
	y0	latitude, in degrees, of NW corner of grid (center of pixel)
	iy	Year of nominal data epoch
	id	day-of-year of nominal data epoch
	ih	UTC Hour of day of nominal data epoch
	im	minute of nominal data epoch ( currently 0 )
	iavh	Averaging time, in hours
SST information
SST records begin following the header record(s), i.e.   nhrec*ncol bytes past the start of the file. 
The SST is in nrows records of ncols each.   
For pixel IX in row IY,  the pixel location is given by
     Longitude = x0 - dx * (IX-1) ;  Latitude = y0 - dy * (IY - 1)
SST values are represented as unsigned one-byte integers.  They are scaled 
as in the old GOES-SST product.  The  SST value corresponding to a given count values is:
     T(K) = 270.0 + 0.15 * Count
Count values of 0-6 represent flags, not SSTs.  
    0 = Space;  2=Land;  1,3,5,6  = pre-bayesian gross screening flags. 
Baysian cloud screen information:
Pclear records begin after the SST data, i.e. (nhrec+nrow)*ncol bytes past the start of the file.
Values represent the Bayesian estimate of the probability that the pixel is clear. 
Values are on a quasi-logarithmic scale to offer more differentiation at low cloud probabilities.   
Count thresholds for various cloud probabilities: 
	Bayesian Cloud contamination probability estimate, Counts threshhold
0.01	0.1	1.0	2.0	5	10	20	50
252	237	181	157	122	95	67	30
