As algorithms mature, reprocessing of the data set is required to improve the archived products. Additionally, it occasionally becomes necessary to redefine the archive product suite as more useful data products are recommended to the Project.
To address these issues, periodic reprocessings are planned by the Project. The Ocean Color Data Processing staff continues to work diligently to address those problems that remain in the data products.
Further details on current and past reprocessing efforts are available below.
Previous data reprocessings were primarily mission specific. With the current reprocessing plan and any future reprocessing efforts, the OBPG will reprocess ALL missions. As a result, the reprocessing will be referred to by the year in which it occurs, rather than a version number as with past reprocessings.
