I have been informed that the MODIS Aqua and Terra gain correction factors have been integrated into the SeaDAS software. Could you please confirm if this implementation is accurate?
If the gain correction factors are indeed available in SeaDAS, could you kindly guide me on how to obtain the correction factors for both Aqua and Terra?

Thanks

If you look in your seadas_install_dir/ under ocssw/share/modis/aqua/
There is a file msl12_defaults.par

you can find the gain setting there:
gain=[0.97581,0.98510,1.00373,0.98908,0.99648,0.99128,0.98844,0.99868,1.00551,1.00462,0.99858,0.98935,1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0]

ocssw/share/modis/terra
gain=[0.99444,0.99119,1.00025,1.01352,1.00287,0.99449,1.00317,1.00877,0.99500,1.00370,0.99567,0.97259,1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0]

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the ocssw/share/modis/aqua/ directory.
Below is the list of files and directory in my seadas installed directory
"THIRDPARTY_LICENSES.txt, etc, platform, Uninstaller, ide, seadas-toolbox, VERSION.txt, jdk-11.0.19+7-jre, snap,bin, optical-toolbox"

Also, it seems like both aqua and terra has 16 gain factors. Could you please let me know the meaning of each factor?
Is it a gain factor of each year?

Each value corresponds to the correction for a particular band (nm): I'll defer to one of our SeaDAS experts regarding the location of /share

It seems that you don't have ocssw (SeaDAS Science Processors) installed in the directory you installed seadas.
You need to install ocssw modis aqua to have the ocssw/share/modis/aqua/ directory and its content. Here is the link on how to install ocssw -https://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/downloads/
