Description

Call to L2GEN

$G$

Transfer Rrs to rrs(0-) using Lee et al. (2002)

Use Morel f/Q tables

giop_rrs_opt=1

$a^*_{dg}$

exp[-S($\lambda - \lambda_0$)]

giop_adg_opt=1

S=0.018

giop_adg_s=0.018

$a^*_\phi$

OC chlorophyll into Bricaud et al. (1995)

giop_aph_opt=2

$b^*_{bp}$

$\left(\frac{\lambda}{\lambda_0}\right)^\eta$, with $\eta$ from QAA v5

giop_bbp_opt=3

$a_w$

Pope and Fry (1997)

$b_{bw}$

$b_{bw} = 0.0038 (400 / \lambda)^{4.32}$

inversion method

Levenburg-Marquardt

giop_fit_opt=1

wavelength range

400 - 700 nm

PRODFAIL (product failure) flag set when retrieved values outside the following ranges:

Variable

Failure condition

$a_{dg}(\lambda)$

$< -0.05 \: a_w(\lambda)$ or $> 5$

$a_\phi(\lambda)$

$< -0.05 \: a_w(\lambda)$ or $> 5$

$a(\lambda)$

$< 0.95 \: a_w(\lambda)$

$b_{bp}(\lambda)$

$< -0.05 \: b_{bw}(\lambda)$ or $> 0.015$

$b_b(\lambda)$

$< 0.95 \: b_{bw}(\lambda)$

$R^{diff}_{rs}$

$> 0.33$

The last statistic provides an index of "goodness of fit" via:

$R^{diff}_{rs} = mean \left( \frac{|R_{rs}^{model}(\lambda) - R_{rs}^{input}(\lambda)|}{R_{rs}^{input}(\lambda)} \right)$ for $400 < \lambda < 600$ nm
