About SeaDAS - OCSSW#
Learn to use the SeaDAS (Sea, earth and atmosphere Data Analysis System) processing tools for comprehensive ocean color data analysis. SeaDAS is the official NASA software package that incorporates OCSSW (Ocean Color Science SoftWare), a collection of command-line processing algorithms and utilities used by the ocean color community worldwide. OCSSW provides the core computational engine that powers SeaDAS, containing standardized algorithms for atmospheric correction, bio-optical retrievals, and data product generation. While SeaDAS offers both a graphical desktop application and command-line interface, OCSSW can be used independently for automated processing workflows, making it ideal for batch processing large datasets and integration into custom analysis pipelines.
