Question: Ocean color chlorophyll-a unit
Replies: 1

Re: Ocean color chlorophyll-a unit

The measurement of chlorophyll concentration is indeed a volumetric measurement, thus the units of milligrams per cubic meter. The algorithm employed can relate the observed surface reflectance spectrum to a chlorophyll concentration as it was developed using coincident in situ measurements of remot...

Question: Processing Landsat 8 images with L2gen

Re: Processing Landsat 8 images with L2gen

You seem to be attempting to process a L2 file. This will not work, as l2gen expects a L1 file as input.

Question: l2gen algorithm - source code error

Re: l2gen algorithm - source code error

Fabio, When the Hu algorithm is above 0.25 mg m^-3, but below 0.35 mg m^-3, we blend Hu with OCx. As Lachlan pointed out: The decision point in the function chl_oci that selects chl_hu, chl_ocx, or a blend of the two, is dependent only the magnitude of chl_hu (i.e., chl1). The code is correct. Sean

Question: ATMWARN not used in VIIRS PIC l2bin flags

Re: ATMWARN not used in VIIRS PIC l2bin flags

Julien,

Indeed, there is a discrepancy with the VIIRS PIC flaguse parameter. The good news is that the impact is insignificant. There is an extremely small number of pixels flagged as ATMWARN that are not also flagged by another of the flags in use as masks for the product.

Regards,
Sean

Question: Geolocation shift for Chesapeake Bay scenes

Re: Geolocation shift for Chesapeake Bay scenes

Sami, Geolocation of the Hawkeye imagery is a bit of a challenge: https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/hawkeye/geolocation/ While we do our best to minimize the geolocation errors, we cannot completely eliminate them. Some scenes are worse than others. (or if you take an optimistic view, some scene...

Re: Level 1&2 browser - scenes not available for ordering

Fabio, This issue is related to the change in filename for the MLAC data with the recent reprocessing. Unfortunately, there is no longer a direct link (by way of the filename) between the L1 files and the L2 files and the old browser was expecting that, at least for the data ordering. Unfortunately,...

Question: SeaDAS cannot reproduce OBPG l2 product

Re: SeaDAS cannot reproduce OBPG l2 product

Make sure you are using the same ancillary inputs that were used in the OBPG processing. With NRT files, the OBPG processes with the best available at the time of processing. If you process a file later, is it possible - actually quite likely - that the ancillary files obtained via getanc will not b...

Question: PIC netCDF files - scale and offset values for pic variable
Replies: 2

Re: PIC netCDF files - scale and offset values for pic variable

The data are stored as signed short integers, so, if you are seeing floating point values, the function you used to read the PIC product applied the scale and offset values. The scale_factor and add_offset values are applied to the data using this simple equation: geophysical_value = scale_factor * ...
