In Oct 2016, a reprocessing of the MOBY data began. Three problems are being addressed: 1) the method to extrapolate radiance attenuation coefficient (Kl) to the surface has been improved to include Raman scattering and chlorophyll fluorescence; 2) the arm depths used in retrievals was increased by 0.234 meter; and 3) a single pixel shift in the data for the red spectrograph (RSG) collected at a bin factor of 384 for deployments MOBY203 to MOBY253. Initially only MOBY254 to current deployments were reprocessed. These deployments did not have the RSG single pixel shift problem. So for MOBY254 to current deployments only correction 1 and 2 are applied. As the older deployments are processed the data will be added to this directory. MOBY203 to MOBY253 will have had all three corrections applied.

● November 2017 Reprocessing Information

In Nov 2017 a reprocessing of the MOBY data from M203-M248 was done. This was done to 1) provide a uniform stray light correction (SLC) to the entire data set. M249 onward already was processed with this SLC, so was not changed; 2) Deployments M206, M208 and M210 had spectral data for wavelengths less than 380 nm removed because these deployments used a different type of fiber which caused problems for the SLC at wavelengths below 380 nm.

MODIS-1 = MODIS-Terra and MODIS-2 = MODIS-Aqua

In the Band column Total means all the wavelengths of each satellite band was used to wieght the data. In means only wavelengths that are within the 1% of the band max where used.
