The Ocean Biology DAAC produces near real-time remote sensing reflectance (RRS) data from the Suomi-NPP VIIRS satellite. This foundational observable supports the retrieval of products like chlorophyll-a concentration (chlor_a), diffuse attenuation coefficient (Kd_490), and inherent optical properties (IOPs). Users must review per-file quality flags for land, cloud, sun glint, and high aerosol, especially in optically complex coastal and inland waters.
Data quality flags for land, cloud, sun glint, and high aerosol must be reviewed before use, particularly in coastal and inland waters.
