Annual average chlorophyll-a concentration for the U.S. East Coast from the VIIRS instrument aboard the S-NPP satellite, 2012-present, is produced using the blue-green reflectance ratio empirical approach of O'Reilly et al. (1998), adjusting the algorithm for the VIIRS spectral bands. Specifically, the algorithm is a 3-band algorithm (OC3V) whose inputs are the water-leaving radiance at wavelengths of 443, 486, and 551 nm (NOAA VIIRS ATBD, 2017). Atmospheric correction uses the near-infrared (NIR) approach of Jiang and Wang (2014), referred to as the BMW atmospheric correction.

Annual average diffuse attenuation coefficient at 490nm (Kd490) for the U.S. East Coast, from the VIIRS instrument aboard the S-NPP satellite, 2012-present, is produced using the Wang et al. (2009) algorithm, in which separate algorithms for clear open ocean and turbid coastal waters are weighted into a combined product. This approach improves accuracy across ocean conditions. Atmospheric correction uses the near-infrared (NIR) approach of Jiang and Wang (2014), referred to as the BMW atmospheric correction.
