While you may find this post (https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/viewtopic.php?t=7029) useful, what I am doing is: (1) using the "pin placing tool" to specify the specific pixels you want, (2) click the "spectrum view", where you can generate the spectra for the pins you added in s...

I am not clear how your MATLAB script works but how did you get the numbers in "Rrs_band"?

Thanks Andy for the note.

Please note Rrs in the wavelength range of 588-613 nm are not generated in this L2 file.

I am using SeaDAS to export the spectra.

Hi Cassandra,

This is the spectra I got from the L2 file for the pixel you provided. I didn't see the sharp drop. Please let me know for further questions. Best,

Hi Cassandra,

It will help if you could post the granule name as well as the ___location of this pixel.

Hi Cassandra,

You can find the flag information here: https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/resources/atbd/ocl2flags/

Hi, The high temporal variability could be an artifact, possibly results from the atmospheric correction. This region from those two MODIS granules has a relative humidity higher than 95%, which is the upper threshold of the aerosol LUTs used for atmospheric correction. Under this situation, the aer...

Hi Sami,

(1) yes, MBAC is used for the atmospheric correction of PACE OCI.
(2) Each sensor has its own default parameters, which are used by generating the OB.DAAC ocean color products. But you can always change these paramters.

Hi Zhigang, Here is the reference for aer_opt=-18, which is called MBAC atmospheric correction algorithm. https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/earth-science/articles/10.3389/feart.2019.00116/full OCI does not currently work with some of the alternate aerosol selection methods (such as MUMM), as the ...
