Hello. Could you please tell me what products and bands were used to generate the North Sea ocean color feature, that features on the home page of the OceanColor website at the time of writing? Also, is image processing the same as that used for the Tasman Sea Image? Many thanks.

Hi,

I processed the data from these 5 Aqua/MODIS L1A files to L2 rhos values using l2gen.

The process was more or less the same as in the post you mentioned.  I treat each scene
I process slightly differently depending on many factors (e.g. amount of sun glint,
amount of aerosols, overall brightness or darkness of the scene, etc.). for a bit more
detail about my work flow you could have a look at this post.

Norman
