CDM: coloured detrital material (IOCCG, 2006). It is the combination of CDOM and detritus. PAR: photosynthetically available radiation. It is the part of the electro-magnetic spectrum between 400 and 700 nm.
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. The OBPG also produces a suite of Level-3 evaluation products. Descriptions an ...
