libera_utils.footprint_matching.product.is_camera_timescale_mode

libera_utils.footprint_matching.product.is_camera_timescale_mode(mode: OperationalMode) → bool

Return whether a mode indexes its footprints by camera image time.

The timescale determines what a mode is built from: camera-timescale modes are assembled from camera pseudo-footprints (segmented from the L1B camera grid), while radiometer-timescale modes are assembled from L1B radiometer pass-through inputs. Runners and assembly both branch on this.

Parameters:

mode (OperationalMode) – The operational mode to test.

Returns:

True for CAM_CAMTIME and IMAGER_CAMTIME; False otherwise.

Return type:

bool
