PACE OCI data analysis

[cristiano.ciccarelli001]

Good morning, I am facing a problem with the conversion of Remote Sensing Reflectance (Rrs) PACE_OCI files. I am trying to convert OCI file (like PACE_OCI.20240601T133544.L2.OC_AOP.V3_0.nc) from .nc to .csv, I was able to convert other rrs .nc file (like MODIS), so I know that I have to go on the specific observation group for the Rrs, but still I am not able to convert a .nc file so that I end up with a .csv file with date, lat, lon, and the various Rrs_xxx columns, each one for a different wavelength and with the respective rrs value for that pixel.

I hope I was clear, thank you!

Which tools are you using?

First thing to try:

Code: Select all

ncdump -h $file

will print the NetCDF4 metadata, so you can determine the file structure.

That will tell you that the OCI Rrs product is 3-dimensional, the third dimension being a function of wavelength.
