Satellite band averaged data: water-leaving radiance, surface irradiance and solar normalized water-leaving radiance. These values are given as the mean flux (not the total flux) for each band. The total and in-band averages are calculated for each satellite. The in-band is calculated by limiting the relative spectral response to within 1% of the maximum value. A separate data listing (denoted by it's hour) is presented when MOBY collects more than one file per day. Six water-leaving radiances can be calculated from different combinations of MOBY four radiance collectors. The best water-leaving radiance is Lw1, determined from the upper two arms. Lw7 is also included and is calculated from the middle and bottom arms.

MOBY team message from 1 Mar 2022:
Starting on 8 Feb and ending on 16 Feb it appears as if a crab or other critter was living in the LuBot gershin tube. On 15 Feb to 26 Feb the LuTop data has the same issue as LuBot. From Feb 8 to 14 Lw1 products are availble. From 15-26 Feb no products are available. On the evening of 26 Feb the buoy was moved from the MN mooring location to the MO mooring location. Also a the Lu windows where cleaned and the tubes checked for crabs or critters in the LuBot and LuTop arms. Starting on Feb 27 all MOBY products are available again.

MOBY team message from 29 Oct 2021:
M272 has been deployed and we are currently in the data evaluation phase (things are looking good). When this phase is done, we will be posting data on Coast Watch. However, there was a problem with changing the mooring hardware for this deployment, and we could not replace the mooring at this time. Thus M272 is actually on our new MN mooring (deployed for MOBY-Refresh and MarONet), a little south of the normal MO mooring location.

● October 2016 Reprocessing Information

In Oct 2016, a reprocessing of the MOBY data began. Three problems are being addressed: 1) the method to extrapolate Kl to the surface has been improved to include Raman scattering and chlorophyll fluorescence; 2) the arm depths used in retrievals was increased by 0.234 m; and 3) a single pixel shift in the data for the RSG collected at a bin factor of 384 for deployments MOBY203 to MOBY253. Initially only MOBY254 to current deployments were reprocessed. These deployments did not have the RSG single pixel shift problem. So for MOBY254 to current deployments only correction 1 and 2 are applied. As the older deployments are processed the data will be added to this directory. MOBY203 to MOBY253 will have had all three corrections applied.
