Satellite - Ocean Colour - SNPP - 1 day - Chlorophyll-a concentration (OCI model)

The SNPP satellite platform carries a VIIRS sensor that observes sunlight reflected from within the ocean surface layer at multiple wavelengths. These multi-spectral measurements are used to infer the concentration of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), most typically due to phytoplankton, present in the water. There are multiple retrieval algorithms for estimating Chl-a. These data use the OCI method (Hu et al 2012, doi: 10.1029/2011jc007395) recommended by the NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group and implemented in the SeaDAS processing software l2gen. The OCI algorithm is described at https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/atbd/chlora/ (and...
