The daily ocean color products from MERSI are globally divided geographic longitude/latitude projected blocks of 10×10 degrees with a resolution of 1Km. Each grid point contains the water-leaving reflectance of 9 bands (CH6~14), chlorophyll-a/pigment concentration using case 1 algorithm, chlorophyll-a/total suspended mater/total absorption coefficient at 443nm of CDOM and non-algal particles using case 2 algorithm, processing flags, sun zenith angle, sensor zenith angle, sun azimuth angle, sensor azimuth angle and data acquisition time.
Purpose:
Daily MERSI Ocean Color Product:
The ocean color product can be used for ocean environment monitoring such as water quality, red tide and suspended matter transportation.
