How to get the reflectivity from water by modis on seadas

[geoding]

Hello everyone，
When I was using seadas7.5.3--OCSSW--l2gen to process modis data in order to obtain the reflectivity of the water body, I only got the reflectivity of the land and the reflectivity of the water body was negative. What parameters should I set to get the desired result?

Thanks，

Can you share with us what L1B file you are using?

This is the processed data: A2015017174500.L1B_LAC (Sorry, I cannot add it to the attachment due to the file size limitation), and the value obtained during atmospheric correction Rrs and Lw etc is NaN .

It might be useful to attach the output from

Code: Select all

ncdump -h  level-2file > file_to_attach.txt

or paste the flag percentages group into a message. It should look like:

Code: Select all

 group: flag_percentages {

    // group attributes:
                :ATMFAIL = 0.002910551f ;

The file you chose is at night, there is no sun, therefore no Rrs or Lw.

ncdump -h level-2file > file_to_attach.txt

Thank you very much,
Unfortunately, I didn't understand how to share data. Does this code :"ncdump -h level-2file > file_to_attach.txt" run in the terminal?
I downloaded daytime and after seadas atmospheric correction l2gen, the result is still NaN.

You need to place the actual name of level-2file and file_to_attach in the command, like
"ncdump -h A2015017054000.L2_LAC_OC > file_to_attach.txt". Then you can attach the "file_to_attach.txt" here by clicking the "Attachments" tab and clicking "Add files" button.

If you download A2015017054000.L2_LAC_OC.nc, and open it in seadas, you can see there is no data at the point of your interest (23 N, 117 E)

I don't know what products you chose doing l2gen. I made an L2 file A2015017054000RrsLw.L2_LAC_OC with Rrs and Lw as the products. Here is the image for Rrs_469.
