Dear all, I am working with MODIS Aqua SST data and detected some strange values in a particualr file (A2002192). The AOI comprises tropical waters in the Western Indian Ocean but the file shows temperatures below 0°C. Please have a look at the attached screenshot of the statistics. In order to chec...

Hi Sean,
thanks for the advice! Is there a study/paper on the Kd algorithm failing in shallow waters available in addition to those mentioned here (https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/atbd/kd_490/) under references?
Thank you! Greetings, JC

Thanks for this link! Good to know what happened in these respective time periods.

Dear all,I am working with MODIS Aqua satellite imagery for the full period of operation of this sensor. My AOI consists of more than 500 000 square kilometers in the central Indian Ocean. The very high revisit frequency of this sensor is one of its great advantages. I realized that for the full per...

Dear colleagues, in Kd_490 level 2 files I have moderately high outliers in an area which is mostly flagged by the cloud-ice mask. I am looking at a tropical area and therefore know that the area is covered by clouds. The high turbidity values are supposedly caused by stray light and shadow effects ...

Dear both, that solved my problem - thank you very much!
What is the planned release date for version 7.5?

Dear Danny, this is good to know, thanks for clarifying! That way I was able to create 8day, monthlies and annual mean files.

Thanks for answering and providing all the useful information!
I need to produce images of the vlaues of the standard deviation and managed to do this with the raster and ncdf4 library in R.

Thanks! Don´t know how I missed that.

Thank you very much for answering. I adjusted the color bar to display the data and therefore visualize the differences in a better way.
Thanks for the links to all those useful resources! Greetings, JC
