Chlorophyll-a and K490 Sensor/Satellite: Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Aqua Data Processing Levels (NOAA CoastWatch http://coastwatch.noaa.gov):

- Level 1: NOAA obtains data from NASA GSFC in 5-minute granules, and process to geolocated, calibrated radiances

- Level 2: Processed to derived MODIS data products (Chl-a, K490, nLw, etc.)- Level 3: Products are mapped to the CoastWatch geographic regions

Using monthly, instead of daily, average [Chl-a] and K490 reveals larger source area for marine isoprene emissions.

Concluding Remarks


Methods to estimate near real-time emissions from two additional natural sources: volcano and marine phytoplankton.

Due to its unique emission pattern and reliable measurements, SO2 emissions from Kilauea volcano can be incorporated into the NAQFC system;

In comparison, marine phytoplankton emissions are more challenging to estimate due to both input data quality and lack of knowledge on how to deal with these uncertainties.
