Question: SeaWiFS L1a and L2 Filename Datetime Discrepancy
Replies: 2

Re: SeaWiFS L1a and L2 Filename Datetime Discrepancy

The issue stems from how the filenames are defined, and for SeaWiFS this most impacts the MLAC data. MLAC are merged files with all of the HRPT (direct broadcast) and on board recorded LAC (local area coverage) data. When the MLAC files were developed, we needed a way to ensure we didn't have duplic...

Re: Loading "Aqua MODIS Global Binned Chlorophyll (CHL) Data, version R2022.0" into ArcGIS

The binned file format is not a raster format and cannot be read by GIS tools...it's also not a 3D product, rather it is essentially spreadsheet... it's complicated ;) . However, the mapped product that we distribute (which are generate from the binned product) are 2D rasters that can be loaded into...

Question: Question About Chlorophyll Concentration Disparity

Re: Question About Chlorophyll Concentration Disparity

I did not mean to suggest that the sensor degradation was the sole reason for differences you see between Hawkeye and MODIS-Aqua. In fact, most of the degradation occurred during the extended commissioning phase. While the instrument likely continues to degrade, the rate of change over time is much ...

Question: Dealing with the negative Rrs values in NASA OC products

Re: Dealing with the negative Rrs values in NASA OC products

Negative Rrs retrievals is the result of an atmospheric correction issue, most often an over estimate of the atmospheric aerosol contribution. Negative TOA reflectance, well that's just bad data. It should not be a common situation. If you are finding it to be more than an extremely rare condition, ...

Re: max number of PACE products processed by l2bin

Bruce, I don't have an answer for you except to say that getting the binner to be happy with the insane number of products that OCI will produce is actively being worked :). I do know that there was a memory issue that was identified and resolved, perhaps that was affecting your processing. This and...

Re: Question About Chlorophyll Concentration Disparity

There are a number of possible reasons for the differences you see. There certainly is some level of degradation in the Hawkeye instrument over time (see: https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/hawkeye/on-orbit-changes/), however there is currently no way to account for any temporal changes in the ra...

Re: OLCI level 1 raw data geo-offset along GreatLakes?

This is a question to bring up with the ESA or Eumetsat Copernicus teams. We do not control the geolocation process for the Sentinel missions.

Question: V2023.0 -- MODIS L1A processing failed
Replies: 7

Re: V2023.0 -- MODIS L1A processing failed

The issue is that the LUT updates required for the update MODIS L1A and GEO codes failed to be included in the V2023.0 release. This will be corrected soon (and you'll see V2023.1). The proper LUTs are available in the T2023.7 test tag.
