Mission Trend Analyses

This page contains links to global processing test results and comparative analyses for the ocean color missions supported by the Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG). The target audience is primarily the OBPG staff that are actively engaged in sensor calibration and algorithm development and evaluation, hence the cryptic titles and general lack of descriptive information.
