Topic Announcements / Ocean Color Announcements / NASA Ocean Color Reprocessing R2018.0 for MODIS on Terra
NASA Ocean Color Data Users:
The Ocean Biology Processing Group is initiating a reprocessing of the ocean
color products from MODIS on Terra. This reprocessing will begin tomorrow (27
March 2018), and it should be completed within the coming weeks. The forward
stream processing was initiated on 23 March 2018.
As with the recent MODIS-Aqua reprocessing, there will be no changes to product
formats or product algorithms relative to the current R2014.0.2 product
distribution.
The purpose of this R2018.0 reprocessing for MODIS-Terra is three-fold:
1) incorporate the MODIS Collection 6.1 Level-1 changes:
https://modis-atmosphere.gsfc.nasa.gov/documentation/collection-61
2) to incorporate an updated cross-calibration to the R2018.0 reprocessing of
MODIS-Aqua
3) to update the vicarious calibration to incorporate recent developments in
the MOBY instrument calibration.
Full details on the reprocessing changes and impact will be made available here:
https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/reprocessing/r2018/terra/
prior to the completion of the reprocessing.

Sean Bailey and the NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group
