Test Scenes
The following are true color images of the scenes on which the IOP algorithms are to be tested.
These scenes were chosen to cover as wide a range of optical conditions as possible.
These data files are available via FTP. Included are basic l2gen parameter files for each scene and the ancillary data (MET, OZONE, OISST)
Each of these scenes were processed and cumulative histograms of bbp, a_total, adg and aph were generated
These scenes were also used in an analysis of spatial coverage
