This product (in conjunction with MOD 19, 24, and 26) provides particle concentrations in Case 1 sea water, which have optical properties dominated by chlorophyll and associated covarying detrital pigments. (Case 2 waters contain substances that affect optical properties that may not covary with chlorophyll, such as gelbstoff, suspended sediments, coccolithophores, detritus, and bacteria.)
