(GOCI), Sentinel-3 Ocean Land Colour Instrument (OLCI), GCOM-C Second-Generation Global Imager (SGLI), etc. Our responsibilities include the collection, processing, calibration, validation, archive and distribution of ocean-related products from a large number of operational, satellite-based remote-sensing missions providing ocean color, sea surface temperature and sea surface salinity data … satellite oceanography team at Note that CLASS is a high-latency tape storage system and there may be some All ocean color data products for NIR, SWIR, and NIR-SWIR data streams are derived from VIIRS-SNPP NOAA OC-SDR (Science Quality data) and science quality (assimilated) ancillary data. DOCS. Archive of these Ocean color products have been implemented by NCEI using NOAA's Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System (CLASS). Level 2 VIIRS Science Quality Ocean Color produced by NOAA/STAR Ocean Color Team through NOAA Multi-Sensor Level 1 to Level 2 processing system (MSL12) using an improved calibration for the satellite data record (OC-SDR, which is Level 1b).CoastWatch Level-3 composites.
These science quality data start with the beginning of VIIRS-SNPP mission (SWIR and NIR-SWIR start on 2012-01-28), and are delayed for about five days from present. (MODIS), and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting VIIRS multi-sensor SNPP + NOAA-20 chlorophyll DINEOF gap-filled analysis, near real-time The ocean color science team in the Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR) of NOAA/NESDIS These remotely sensed products include: Ocean Color (OC), Sea Surface Height (SSH), Sea Surface Temperature (SST), Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) and Sea Surface Wind (SSW). Radiation from the ocean surface of light in the visible wavelengths gives information about the color of the ocean. NASA's OceanColor Web is supported by the Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. The data are produced by NESDIS Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR) OC team using the Multi-Sensor Level-1 to Level-2 (MSL12) ocean color data processing system.
SeaWiFS and MERIS data is restricted to users covered by the SeaWiFS CoastWatch Clouds will block remotely sensed OC.The following list shows the various Ocean Color near real time and science quality data products available from NOAA CoastWatch about NOAA MSL12 Ocean Color - Near Real Time - VIIRS single-sensor SNPP and NOAA-20 about NOAA MSL12 Ocean Color - Science Quality - VIIRS SNPP about NOAA MSL12 Ocean Color, near real time, VIIRS multi-sensor SNPP + NOAA-20 daily merge about NOAA MSL12 Ocean Color, near real-time, VIIRS multi-sensor (SNPP + NOAA-20), chlorophyll DINEOF gap-filled analysis about NOAA MSL12 Ocean Color, science quality, VIIRS multi-sensor (SNPP + NOAA-20), chlorophyll DINEOF gap-filled analysis about Ocean Color - Near Real Time - OLCI Sentinel-3A and 3B Global Coverage about Ocean Color - Near Real Time - OLCI Sentinel-3A and 3B Regional Coverage In contrast, the near-real-time data stream Colors represent water depth in meters as defined in the color key. The Ocean Color Viewer (OCView for short) is designed for an interactive display of various ocean color data products generated by NOAA/NESDIS/STAR Ocean Color Teamfrom the data acquired by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrumentonboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) satellite. contract or registered with ESA, respectively. responsible for providing high quality VIIRS global ocean color products. While MODIS data is freely and openly accessible to the public, access to All files are in CoastWatch Hierarchical Data Format (HDF). Chlorophyll concentration provides an estimate of the live phytoplankton biomass in the surface layer. The L2 ocean color products generated by CoastWatch from SeaWiFS, MODIS, and MERIS data consist primarily of spatial information on chlorophyll-a concentration, as well as turbidity (reflectance), covering 13 CoastWatch regions globally.
