MOD 18 - Normalized Water-leaving Radiance
Description:
Water-leaving radiances are the subsurface radiances that are reflected out of the ocean through the air-sea interface. From these radiances, information on a host of ocean optical properties (dissolved substance and particle absorption and scattering coefficients) and constituent concentrations (e.g., chlorophyll-a) are derived. Water-leaving radiances are computed for each satellite visible wavelength or band designed for ocean color applications. The global time series of water-leaving radiances begins with SeaWiFS in 1997 and includes data from MODIS/Aqua and Terra.
