Product Status by Mission
The Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) produces and distributes a standard suite of ocean color products for all compatible sensors at Level-2 and Level-3, plus sea surface temperature (SST) products from MODIS and VIIRS. The OBPG also produces a suite of provisional products for evaluation. Provisional products have been approved for large-scale production, but they have not yet been accepted as standard products. The descriptions and references for these standard and provisional products are provided below. The product names link to the associated Product and Algorithm Description Document (PADD), which serves to satisfy the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD) requirement as defined by the NASA Earth Observing System Project Science Office.
