Re: PIC Algorithms
SeaDAS processing from Level 1A to Level 2 should allow the application of a coccolithophore bloom mask. I'll send a message to the OBDAAC staff to alert them to your question.

Re: PIC Algorithms
At Level 2, pixels identified as possibly having significant coccolithophore concentration are flagged. These pixels are excluded when the data are binned to Level 3: https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/resources/atbd/ocl2flags/
The coccolithophore flag is based on some pretty old work: https://doi.org/10.1029/93JC02156
