Home • Re: Questions about the level3 remote sensing reflectance data of MODIS images

The Rrs data are stored in the L3 mapped netCDF files as scaled short integers. If your software does not apply the scale_factor and add_offset information (contained in the variable attribtues) to convert the scaled integers into floating point values, you will need to do so after reading the data from the file. The equation is simple":

geophysical_value = scaled_value * scale_factor + add_offset
