PACE OCI Level-3 Global Mapped Remote-Sensing Reflectance (RRS) - NRT Data, version 3.1

The primary sensor aboard the PACE spacecraft is the Ocean Color Instrument (OCI). It is a highly advanced optical spectrometer that will be used to measure properties of light over portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. It will enable continuous measurement of light at finer wavelength resolution than previous NASA satellite sensors, extending key system ocean color data records for climate studies. The Ocean Biology DAAC produces near real-time (quicklook) products using the best-available combination of ancillary data from meteorological and ozone data. As such, the inputs and the calibration used are less than optimal. Quicklook products provide a snapshot of the data during a short time period within a single orbit.
