+# Earth Engine Satellite Imagery Processing
+
+This code file is designed to process satellite imagery using Google Earth Engine. It includes functions to acquire images from a specific date, process collections of images, and generate cloud maps. The code relies on several utility functions and external libraries.
+
+## Dependencies
+- Google Earth Engine (`ee`)
+- Utility functions from `../utils`
+- Metadata handling from `../../common/metadata`
+- Cloud scoring from `../imagery`
+
+## Constants
+- `REVISIT_DAYS`: The number of days between satellite revisits (16 days).
+
+## Functions
+
+### `sliceByRevisit(collection, startingDate, days)`
+Slices an image collection based on a starting date and a number of days.
+
+- **Parameters:**
+  - `collection` (ee.ImageCollection): The image collection to slice.
+  - `startingDate` (String): The starting date for the slice.
+  - `days` (Number): The number of days to include in the slice.
+- **Returns:** 
+  - `ee.ImageCollection`: The sliced image collection.
+
+### `acquireFromDate(date, collection, geometry)`
+Acquires a mosaicked and clipped image from a specific date within a given geometry.
+
+- **Parameters:**
+  - `date` (String): The date to acquire the image from.
+  - `collection` (String): The satellite image collection.
+  - `geometry` (ee.Geometry): The geometry to clip the image to.
+- **Returns:** 
+  - `ee.Image`: The processed image with cloud scoring applied.
+
+### `processCollection(satellite, geometry)`
+Processes a satellite image collection to compute valid dates for image acquisition.
+
+- **Parameters:**
+  - `satellite` (String): The satellite name.
+  - `geometry` (ee.Geometry): The geometry to filter the collection by.
+- **Returns:** 
+  - `ee.List`: A list of valid dates for image acquisition.
+
+### `generateCloudMap(dates, collection, geometry)`
+Generates a cloud map for a list of dates within a given geometry.
+
+- **Parameters:**
+  - `dates` (ee.List): A list of dates to generate the cloud map for.
+  - `collection` (String): The satellite image collection.
+  - `geometry` (ee.Geometry): The geometry to filter the collection by.
+- **Returns:** 
+  - `ee.List`: A list of cloud scores for each date.
+
+## Usage Example
+
+```javascript
+import { acquireFromDate, processCollection, generateCloudMap } from './path/to/this/file';
+
+// Define parameters
+const satellite = 'Landsat';
+const geometry = ee.Geometry.Point([longitude, latitude]);
+const date = '2023-01-01';
+
+// Acquire image from a specific date
+const image = acquireFromDate(date, satellite, geometry);
+
+// Process collection to get valid dates
+const validDates = processCollection(satellite, geometry);
+
+// Generate cloud map
+const cloudMap = generateCloudMap(validDates, satellite, geometry);
+```
+
+## Edge Cases and Assumptions
+- Assumes that the input date is in a valid format.
+- Assumes that the satellite collection contains images for the specified geometry.
+- Handles cases where no images are found within a slice by setting empty properties.
