  ! Sensor_Index - integer
  ! Channel_Index - integer pointer, index of the channels loaded during initialization
  ! Sensor_Channel - integer pointer, the sensor channel #
  ! Sensor_ID - character pointer, character string containing satellite and sensor descr
  !                                        example: amsre_aqua (Appendix B in User guide)
  ! WMO_Satellite_ID - integer pointer
