Data level distinction?
Posted: Thu Nov 24, 2022 4:30 am America/New_York
Hi!
I'm having some trouble grasping the distinction between data levels and actual physical interpretation of data.
Say we are talking about chlorophyll concentration: level 1 would include both radiance L (power of the light radiation at specific wavelength per unit solid angle per unit area) and reflectance R (ratio of specific radiance/iradiance, no need to get specific), while level 2 would be chlorophyll concentration for a given swath obtained by applying the algorithms (contained within l2gen) to the appropriate level 1 data.
Am I understanding this correctly?
Thanks!
