Are there any standard NASA or NOAA CDOM products available from satellites?
We do not have a CDOM concentration product, but we do produce adg (Absorption of Gelbstoff & Detrital Material) in our IOP (Inherent Optical Properties) suite. That product is the sum of CDOM absorption and non-algal particulate absorption, so not CDOM only, but typically a decent proxy.
