Oh, with regards to your comment about applying a palette under gimp: I do notuse the chlorophyll images in that way i.e. as indexed color look-up tables. I blendthe gray-scale chlorophyll images with the other layers using blending modes suchas "soft light". That particular bl...

Hi Fabrizio,We have the same issues accessing our work place at Goddard Space Flight Center inMaryland. Yes, these are challenging times.There is still something wrong with the files you are generating. They should nothave those holes in the grid. I notice that you have many key li...

Surface and subsurface blooms in MODIS data
Perhaps in the future we may be able to vertically resolve phytoplankton using
LIDAR from space.
See advance number 1 under the Satellite section of this paper.

Hi Fabrizio,I looked at a couple of your images, and the moiré patterns indicate that thechosen search radius passed to nearneighbor is too small for the spacing ofthe projected input data. A couple of possibilities spring to mind.(a) I am not familiar with R. Are you sure that your Rscr...

Geolocation issue with l2gen
Hi Armin,
I have generally found the geolocation provided by the orthorectified
Landsat 8 data from USGS to be pretty good. I would suspect the
land mask you are using is the problem. The l2gen software does not
change the original projection supplied by USGS.

Geolocation issue with l2gen
Hi Armin,For Landsat, I would suggest that you not use the land-mask that comes along withl2gen; it is just not of high enough resolution or accuracy. When I need to discriminatebetween land and water in Landsat 8 data, I like to compute rhos_865 from Band 5and choose a threshold reflectance t...

Size of 1 day level 2 data on global scale
Hi Eligio,Compression ratio will vary depending on the contents of the scene.L2 scenes that have large areas masked out (e.g. for land) willcompress much smaller than those with a more complete andvarying feature set.If I were you, I would set up a processing flow that downloadsscenes serially and d...

Size of 1 day level 2 data on global scale
Hi Eligio,You can get daily level-2 volumes by adding up the file sizes in bytesfrom pages like this representative Aqua/MODIS page from yesterday.https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov. (/MODIS-Aqua/L2/2020/078/). If you are only interested in coastal regions, you will obviously haveless data to proce...

Data Quality and need of Regional Algorithm
In addition to heavy suspended sediment load in the Bay of Bengal,the region also suffers from perennially bad air quality. This negativelyaffects the accuracy of the MODIS atmospheric correction.I am afraid your reviewers are correct. Ocean color remote sensingis difficult even over cle...

Hi Robert,I've been having some hallway conversations with folks whoknow a lot more about how our sausage is made than I do.The general thinking is that MODIS instrument calibrationis a never-ending process as the aging spacecraft is exposedto the ever changing space environment. As one ge...
