Why the change in MODIS band-averaged aw(lambda) and bbw(lambda) in 2019?
Good morning, Sean. Thanks for the explanation. As I noted, this came up as part of my attempt to port qaa.c to R so I can use it in some external applications. If I understand correctly, I should be using the aw and bbw values that show up in the output L2 netcdf file to be ...

Why the change in MODIS band-averaged aw(lambda) and bbw(lambda) in 2019?
Hi - I've been struggling with trying to port the SeaDAS version of QAAv6 (qaa.c) to R. It should be a simple thing to do, but I can't get my code to reproduce the same values of a_488_qaa and b_488_qaa that come from SeaDAS (v7.5) when given the same input Rrs spectrum. The deta...

Why isn't Lee_Kd_PAR * Zeu_lee a constant for all pixels?
Ah (or should that be 'Doh'?) Thanks, Sean. So, if instead of using p.prod_ix = -3, zphotic_lee had been called with p.prod_ix = -2, the resultant Kd would be the calculated Kd to the 1% level and then product with Zeu_lee would be a constant. The output value of Zeu...

Why isn't Lee_Kd_PAR * Zeu_lee a constant for all pixels?
Hi. I create L2 files using l2gen often adding variables of interest to me, such as Zeu_lee and Kd_PAR_lee. I've checked the source codes (get_Kd.c and photic_depth.c) and Kd_PAR_lee is obtained simply by inverting Zeu_lee. The relevant lines of Kd_PAR_lee are:Zphotic_lee(l2rec...

Quick question about blended chlor_a algorithm
Hey Sean! Thank you. Being an old hand at this, I did look at the source code but I guess, also being an old man, I read right past (or just didn't see) the relevant part.
Best regards, Barry

Quick question about blended chlor_a algorithm
Hi - Current implementation of the chlor_a algorithm blends the Hu CI and O'Reilly OCx algorithms. There are two threshold values that are used to switch between the two. The documentation states when chl < 0.15 mg/m^3 CI is used and when chl > 0.2 mg/m^3 OCx is used (weighted ...

Did something change in VIIRS day_night_flag in 2017?
Hi - This seems strange. I've been running through the entire VIIRS mission doing match-ups with in situ observations collected in the Great Lakes. My match-up routine is coded in IDL. The code happily chunks through the data from 2012-2016 but then stops with an error ("H...

Oh, do I miss out_track
Good morning, George. Your first comment about why my MacPorts installation didn't work led me to go back and try the whole process again. I must have done something wrong the first time I attempted it because now it works fine. I suspect that my I issued the 'sudo port sel...
