MOD 37 - Ocean Aerosol Properties

Description:
This Level 2 and Level 3 product contains ocean water-leaving radiances for 7 of the 36 wavelengths/ spectral bands (Bands 8 through 14, 412 through 681 nm) of MODIS. These are the �ocean� bands; the water-leaving radiances in these bands are used to derive nearly all of the MODIS ocean products. In addition, another key parameter generated by the algorithm is provided as product MOD 37: Aerosol Optical Depth. The Level 2 product is provided daily at 1-km resolution for cloud-free pixels, while the Level 3 product is provided daily, 8-day weekly, monthly, and yearly.
