Satellite Validation Match-Up Tools (Portable)
These validation match-up tools allows Users to
- find relevant OB.DAAC satellite granules from in situ points or a SeaBASS data file and
- generate coincident satellite validation match-ups for those points.
These tools are downloadable for Users to run individually, external to the official SeaBASS validation search. These tools are designed to replicate some of SeaBASS validation search's core functionality, with the exception that these tools do NOT adjust in situ data to water-leaving values.
These validation match-up tools are served as part of SeaDAS and apply the default recommended match-up exclusion criteria, as set forth in S.W. Bailey and P.J. Werdell, "A multi-sensor approach for the on-orbit validation of ocean color satellite data products", Rem. Sens. Environ. 102, 12-23 (2006).
