WARNING: the optical calibration does not account
for complex optical properties in the channel

Thick haze is well deglinted
Overcast skies <==> CoefK~=0.0

Data and Deglinting

TOA TCC: raw image logarithmic enhancement	BOA TCC deglinted image logarithmic enhancement Deglinting of haze is excellent Dense fog remains
Glint regressions using SWIR1 R2 values are very high There is no noticeable sun/sky glint, but rather thick and variable haze/fog 15 m resampling does not increase noise	Special effect mask mSE
Location of Profile_RED backdrop is a TCC of deglinted data turquoise rectangle: shapefile dLsw.shp is shown: this is where deep water radiance is adjusted, just over waypoint B1 of Profile_red Profile Yellow is also shown	Radiances along Profile_Red

Optical calibration for the whole image
This calibration does not account
for the complex optical properties in the channel

Calibration for the whole image for bands Blue, Green, Red and NIR	Calibration for the whole for bands Blue, Green, PAN, and NIR

Ready for modeling

True Color Composite of BOA WCC radiances scaled 0-250 this is early March B=Coastal band in channel 34 G=Green band in channel 35 R=Blue band in channel 36	Retrieved depth backdrop of TOA TCC see legend
Maximum BOAWCC reflectance (0-1) for this scene 0.168/0.211/0.281/0.319/0.385/0.518/0.518 To convert BOAWCC radiances into calibrated reflectances CoastalRefectance=CoastalBOAWCC0.168/250 BlueRefectance = BlueBOAWCC0.211/250 GreenRefectance = GreenBOAWCC*0.281/250	Maximum shallow bottom reflectance (0-1) for coral sands -RM/0.310/0.380/0.440/0.550/0.560/0.670/0.700 Coral sand is approx twice brighter than brightest sands in this scene.
Average bottom brightness see legend for image B see the same view on Jan 18th 2018	15 m GSD, smart-smoothed not_PANsharpened: sharpening becomes redundant/pointless, thanks to: improved co-registration of the PANchromatic band with the MULTI bands (might still be improved further) combined with 15 m resampling of MULTI bands to match the PANchro GSD smart-smoothing then becomes desirable/necessary
