If this is done the automatic cloud mask will be always produced and stored in the corresponding CloudScreen product but it will be in the further SCC data processing. In this case, the corresponding SCC products requiring as input the cloud mask will be labelled as manual cloud-screened. +There are three equivalent ways to set as cloud-free an already submitted (and processed) measurements: + +1.
