MODIS-1-land 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.

During this deployment the UV region of LuMid began to decrease causing the Kls calculated from LuMid to be either too high or too low, which affected the Lws calculated using these Kls. When comparing M238's 412 nm band weighted data to a running mean of deployments M220-37, M238 was within one standard deviation of the mean of the other deployment. Therefore the problem with the UV from the LuMid data does not appear to be affecting the 412 nm bands of SeaWiFS or MODIS.

  • 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)
