Satellite - This is the satellite name. Currently the valid satellites are TERRA, AQUA, AURA, CALIPSO, and CLOUDSAT.

Swath - This the the size of the swath in kilometers. Note the actual swath size is twice this since the code assumes the satellite swaths this number fo the left and right of the groud track. If this is 0 you will just get the ground track of the actual satellite.
Swath - This the the size of the swath in kilometers. Note the actual swath size is twice this since this is the size of the swath on either side of the groud track. If this is 0 you will just get the ground track of the actual satellite.


Halo - This allows one to had a halo around the swath where the number is the number of extra grid points to swath outside of the generated sattellite swath

Long Name - this parameter is not read but you can place additional text after the Halo for information
