Hi Julien,

The delay for refined products does not seem unusual to me,
but I am seeing MODIS quicklook products.

Hello,Our level-2 products are written in NetCDF4/HDF5 format.  Please see this page.        https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/format/l2nc/The SeaDAS software that we distribute can already read that format.If you are looking for a more detailed description of the format...

Hi Bruce,There have been many changes (added missions, file-name-convention changes, etc.)since this forum thread that have caused the suggested wget calls to no longer work.My old browse code (never intended for such uses) is still limping along while otherswork out a design for a new browser that ...

Hi Fabrizio,Those images look much better now.Indeed you can perform most of the same operations using ImageMagick as you can ingimp.  See, for instance, the "-compose" option to the convert command.https://imagemagick.org/Usage/compose/#mathNote, however, that sometimes blending mode...

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...

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...

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.

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...
