| Diversity Mph/Chl Processor |
The MERIS MPH Processor calculates chl-a concentrations by means of the Maximum Peak
Height and specific arithmetic expressions for different water types. Flags for floating material,
eucaryote/cyanobacteria dominance and an adjacency effect indicator are provided for each pixel.
The algorithm requires as input data bottom-of-Rayleigh corrected reflectances derived from MERIS spectral bands.
A MERIS BRR product can be processed using the MERIS Bottom of Rayleigh Reflectance (BRR) processor available from
VISAT -> PreProcessing,
or the corresponding GPT processor. You may download it via the module manager if it is not included in your
installation.
Using the option to export intermediate MPH calculations allows the user to customize arithmetic expressions for calculating chl-a.
