Hi,
I extract MODISA sena and I remarque a discontinuity in the image. The left part are negative values and the right part are positive part.
Can someone know why this discontinuity.

Hi Sean,
I see the link and it help me.
Seawifs is descending node and Modis is acending node. I want to know if the relaz between MODIS and SeaWiFS should be different of about 180 °.

Bests regards

No, the solar azimuth angle is not dependent upon ascending or descending node.
