This synthesized dataset contains both inherent optical properties (IOPs) and apparent optical properties (AOPs) for testing and comparing ocean colour algorithms. See PDF file for details of the dataset and IOCCG Report 5 for further information about the algorithms. Please cite IOCCG Report 5 as follows if you use this dataset: IOCCG (2006). Remote Sensing of Inherent Optical Properties: Fundamentals, Tests of Algorithms, and Applications. Lee, Z.-P. (ed.), Reports of the International Ocean-Colour Coordinating Group, No. 5, IOCCG, Dartmouth, Canada. The IOP_AOP_Sun30.xls file is for the sun at 30o from zenith. The IOP_AOP_Sun60.xls file is for the sun at 60o from zenith. Back | Working Groups | Home
