The Ocean Color OC products all include combinations of the following derived geophysical parameters normalized water leaving radiance nLw or remote sensing reflectance Rrs at multiple visible wavelengths; chlorophyll A concentration chl a; aerosol optical thickness AOT t in one NIR or for CZCS red band; angstrom coefficient A; the diffuse attenuation coefficient at 490 nm K490; calcite concentration or particulate inorganic carbon PIC ; particulate organic carbon POC ; photosynthetically available radiation PAR ; fluorescence line height FLH ; and inherent optical properties IOPs which include absorption and backscattering coefficients in the visible bands. The MODIS SST products include 4 micron nighttime only and 11 micron daytime and nighttime SST. For the Level 3 products each binned product contains multiple geophysical parameters while the standard mapped image SMI products contain one parameter per granule.
