PSD Product Description
under construction
<math>N(D)=N_o \left ( \frac{D}{D_o} \right )^\xi</math>
The Particle Size Distribution Slope (<math>\xi</math>) and Particle
differential Number concentration No (for Do=2<math>\mu</math>m) were calculated following Kostadinov et.al. 2009.
The method was applied to
SeaWiFS L3 monthly Rrs
file naming convention uses most of the original SeaWiFS file name, replacing RRS_rrs_*_9km.bz2 with .XiNo.nc.
SYYYYdddYYYYddd.L3m_MO.XiNo.nc
here YYYYdddYYYYddd is the year and 3-digit day-of-year, for the start and end of the month long composite file.
each netcdf (V4 "classic") file contains the variables Xi (<math>\xi</math>) and logNo (<math>log_{10}(N_o</math>) in the 2160x4320 SMI format these are
single floats with a fill value of -999.
