Dear Sean, I thank you for the answer! This is very helpful. The way to calculate the coefficient of variation is nevertheless not that handy... I would like to do this all in one. This might be easier using R? Did anybody map the mean, the standard deviation and the coefficient of variation of an o...

Dear colleagues, the command combination l2bin + l3mapgen enables the creation of level 3 mapped image files out of level 2 files. The combined run of those two commands will result in mapped images of the mean of a selected product (in my case Kd_490) representing an indicated period of time (e.g. ...

Dear Danny, thanks for the advice! Good to know that the new version will upgrade the statistical options. What I did to solve my problem: I used the color manager and adjusted the range by lowering the max from 6.0 to 0.5. That way the differences in the Kd 490 values got way better depicted. Is th...

Dear all, I am working with Kd_490 level 3 mapped data and face the problem that my maps barely show the spatial differences of the (relatively low) differing values. The area of interest I am looking at basically looks "all the same". Here the statistics of an example file: Minimum: 0.016...

Thank you very much for the clarification!

Dear colleagues, I would like to know whether there is an option in SeaDas to crop a level 3 mapped image file (in netCDF format) from MODIS by using the spatial information of a shapefile as a reference. The area of interest of my study is defined as a 200 nautical mile (~370.4 km) buffer zone arou...

Hi, I have a question regarding the nomenclature of MODIS files: let´s for example look at the files representing the first of January 2004: A2004001103000.specific-ending. What does the "A" stand for? "2004" represents the year 2004 and the following "001" represents t...

Dear Danny, thank you very much for your answer! I ran the l2bin command for a test month (07.2002) three times with the prodtype set one time to "day", one time to "8-day" and another time to "month". All other settings (sday=blank, eday=blank, resolve=1, suite=blank, ...

Dear both, thank you very much for the answers! Those publications are very useful. In fact, I realized that only a little fraction of my area of interest consists of shallow waters, sandy sea floor and reefs. La Réunion is characterized by a very steep bathymetry, the water is deep just off the coa...

Dear all, in my long-term study of the coastal water turbidity around La Réunion, I need to develop a way to pool/goupe the satellite imagery data in order to be able to analyze it. I am looking at trends in the turbidity including all available MODIS Aqua data from 2002 until present. This encompas...
