Near Real Time Service

The Near Real Time (NRT) Service consists of daily and weekly Level-3 ocean colour products matching the FPS in information content. The NRT service is based on the merging of MERIS and MODIS level-2 data over the whole globe.

The NRT Service currently uses version 1.1 of the GlobColour processor.

Distributed merged products are:
  • Chlorophyll-a, case I water (CHL1),
  • Chlorophyll-a, case II water (CHL2),
  • Total Suspended Matter (TSM),
  • Coloured dissolved and detrital organic materials (CDM),
  • Particulate back-scattering coefficient (bbp),
  • Diffuse attenuation coefficient (KD490),
  • Fully normalised water leaving radiances at 412, 443, 490, 510, 531, 550-565, 620, 665-670, 681 and 709 nm (Lxxx),
  • Relative excess of radiance at 555 nm (EL555),
  • Aerosol optical thickness over water (T865),
  • Cloud Fraction (CF).
