More Information
The products are available in two projections: sinusoidal and geographic.
Rrs values are provided for the standard SeaWiFS wavelengths (412, 443, 490, 510, 555, 670nm) with pixel-by-pixel uncertainty estimates for each wavelength.
The OC-CCI product includes inherent optical properties (IOP): the total absorption and particle backscattering coefficients, and, additionally, the fraction of detrital & dissolved organic matter absorption (adg) and phytoplankton absorption (aph).
