BGC-Argo matchups with Ocean Color Satellite Sensors and MERRA-2 updated for 2023

<p>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".</p> <p>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.&nbsp;</p> <p>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).&nbsp;</p> <p>For any questions, do not hesitate to be in touch.&nbsp;</p>
