SeaDAS Toolbox contains the core NASA SeaDAS science-processing integration and tools used with the Sea, Earth and Atmosphere Data Analysis System.
It extends the SNAP platform with interfaces to NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group software and adds functionality aimed at ocean-colour and other Earth-observation data. The toolbox brings science processing, bathymetry, water masks, contour generation, image animation and Earthdata-related tools into the SeaDAS desktop environment.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Integrates NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group science processing with the SeaDAS interface.
- Provides graphical access to SeaDAS-OCSSW processing programs and their configurable processing parameters.
- Supports processing of satellite data through multiple science-product levels using NASA OBPG algorithms.
- Level 1 to Level 2 processing with l2gen.
- Level 2 to Level 3 binning with l2bin.
- Temporal Level 3 binning with l3bin.
- Mapping tools for Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 data products.
- Bathymetry and elevation processing tools for adding and analysing terrain and ocean-depth information.
- Coastline, land and water masking.
- Contour generation for geophysical data.
- Image animation tools for comparing temporal, angular or spectral data across products.
- Earthdata cloud integration components for working with NASA-hosted Earth observation resources.
- Panoply-related tools for scientific data handling.
- Works with the SNAP processing framework and user interface.
- Supports NetCDF-4/HDF5 data used by many Level 2 ocean-colour products.
- Provides access to data products from numerous US and international satellite missions, including ocean-colour sensors.
