Description

Updated matchup dataset as described in "Begouen Demeaux et al., Algorithms to Retrieve the Spectral Diffuse Attenuation Coefficient of Light in the Ocean from Remote Sensing, Optics Express, 2023".

Composed of Satellites matchup from the MODIS, VIIRS and OLCI sensors with BGC-Argo floats, including Kds derived from float measurements (Kd_WV_Xing), Rrs at all wavelengths from each sensor, solar zenith angle and information on the atmospheric composition from Merra-2 matchups. 

New recomputed Kds using the Lee et al., 2005 algorithm with individual sensor coefficients are also listed (new_kd_WV_Lee_indiv), as well as recomputed Kds for a new global m2 coefficient (new_kd_WV_Lee_global). Recomputed Kds for the new coefficients of the NASA/ESA algorithm are also available (new_Kd_Aus). Lastly, Kds for the new GF algorithm depending on the MERRA inputs and IOPs is listed : (kd_WV_f). 

For any questions, do not hesitate to be in touch.
