Difference between MODIS PAR and iPAR products
Posted: Thu Oct 07, 2021 2:12 pm America/New_York
Buenas tardes,
When analyzing daily images of L3-MODIS-PAR and L2-MODIS-iPAR I have noticed that they have different daily spatial coverage. Understanding that ipar is an instant product, companion to nFLH, both daily data availability are the same. On the other hand, the PAR product, which is a daily average, presents a different daily data availability. Could you please help me understand the differences between iPAR and PAR? Also advise me on which product is most recommended to describe the radiation on the ocean surface.
Thanks
Sebastián
