We list what the server says it can provide. It says it can provide  
reflectivity so it is listed.  Perhaps that is the same as Albedo?
What we end up with is a matrix of the bands and the calibration units
that is available for each band.

Maybe you could talk to Marianne about removing that if it is not
appropriate.

That would require a higher level of semantics that probably changes from 
satellite to satellite.  We only go by what we have in the SATBANDS file
and what we get back from the server.  Sometimes we don't have any information
for derived products (like GINI imagery) where all we have is a band number.

> What are your thoughts?

I'm reluctant to hard code groupings unless that can be determined from 
the available metadata that we have.  Is there a way to tell from satellite
to satellite which bands are visible/ir?

Sorry, we've been getting sidetracked.  You should be hearing from us either
this week or next on these.
