MODIS OCEAN DATA PROCESSING

MODIS Ocean Color Processing

This document describes code designed to apply atmospheric corrections and a suite of ocean color algorithms to level 1B data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS). The main focus of this document is to describe the structure, components and implementation of the MODIS ocean color and sea-surface temperature (SST) processing codes.

A frames version of this document is also available.

We would like to acknowledge the tremendous help with this documentation provided by Bob Evans, Sue Walsh, Kay Kilpatrick and Jim Brown of RSMAS, Miami.
