ODATIS ocean color medium resolution (MR) Level 3 product - Basic
The ODATIS Ocean Color MR product provides optical reflectance measurements as well as related physical, subsurface and biogeochemical parameters at 300 m spatial resolution along the entire French metropolitan coastal zone, according to the criteria defined by the ODATIS Scientific Expert Consortium (CES) dedicated to ocean color : https://www.odatis-ocean.fr/activites/consortium-dexpertise-scientifique/ces-couleur-de-locean.
Product processing is performed from Level 1 to Level 3, and is reprojected on a regular square grid format. Data are temporally aggregated and provided as daily, 8 day and monthly products.
The "Basic" version of the ODATIS MR product includes data from the MODIS sensor processed with the "NIR/SWIR" atmospheric correction method (Wang and Shi, 2007), as well as data from the MERIS and OLCI-A/B sensors processed with the Polymer atmospheric correction (Hygeos, https://www.hygeos.com/polymer ).
List of available parameters for each sensor:
• MODIS : NRRS555, CHL-OC5, SPM-G, CDOM, T-FNU, SST-NIGHT
• OLCI-A/B / MERIS : NRRS560, CHL-OC5, SPM-G, CDOM, T-FNU
