6 SeaWiFS sensor on OrbView 2 Orbit: Type: Sun-synchronous Altitude: 705 km Equatorial Crossing: Noon ± 20 min Inclination: 98.2 Period: 99 minutes <- before launch SeaWiFS, launched in 1997, still the gold standard in ocean color due to best orbit (noon), tilting away from the Sun glint, and best calibration SeaWiFS/OrbView 2 - the only sensor on the platform while MODIS/Aqua, MERIS/Envisat, etc have many instruments with conflicting requirements SeaWiFS calibration is a mixture of in-flight calibration against the Moon plus vicarious calibration versus MOBY 6

7 SeaWiFS, 1997/09 present, ~4 km (GAC) globally, 1 km (merged LAC) available globally , from 2006 for ~N America 7

VIIRS on JPSS1 (Joint Polar Satellite System), formerly NPOESS, ~3/2015? VIIRS on JPSS2, ~5/2018? ACE, GEO-CAPE, Hyspiri 8

9 Processing Level: Level 0 - raw radiance counts from sensor, spacecraft and instrument telemetry data Level 1A -Level-0 data with appended calibration and navigation data, instrument and spacecraft telemetry Level 1B calibrated radiances at sensor level, i.e. TOA Level 2 - geophysical values, derived from Level-1A by applying sensor calibration, atmospheric corrections, and bio-optical algorithms, e.g. chlor_a, Rrs412, Rrs443,.. Level 3 - Binned (time and space), SMI (Standard Mapped Image) mapped to Equidistant Cylindrical projection, at ~ 4.6 km, 9 km spatial resolution Level 4 After application of models (e.g. Net Primary Production, Export Flux of Carbon) to L3 data 9
