MODIS-1 Time Series

January 2005 Reprocessing Information

Satellite band averaged data: water-leaving radiance, surface irradiance and solar normalized water-leaving radiance. These values are given as the mean flux (not the total flux) for each band. The total and in-band averages are calculated for each satellite. A separate data listing (denoted by it's hour) is presented when MOBY collects more than one file per day. Six water-leaving radiances can be calculated from different combinations of MOBY four radiance collectors. The best water-leaving radiance is Lw1, determined from the upper two arms. If MOBY's top arm is damaged then Lw7 is included.

  • Lw1 is the Water-Leaving Radiance calculated from LuTop and Kl1(LuTop-LuMid)
  • Lw7 is the Water-Leaving Radiance calculated from LuMid and Kl3(LuMid-LuBot)
