The operational MEdium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) daily mean photosynthetically available radiation (PAR) product generated by the NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) was evaluated in clear sky conditions against in-situ measurements at various sites in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea (BOUSSOLE buoy), the northwestern Pacific (CCE-1 and -2 moorings), and the northeastern Atlantic (COVE platform). The measurements were first checked and corrected for calibration errors and uncertainties in data processing by comparing daily means for clear days (i.e., no clouds from sunrise to sunset and low aerosol abundance) with theoretical values from an accurate Monte Carlo radiative transfer code. The OBPG algorithm performed well when sky was... |
