Subject: [staff] viirs "first light" ocean chlorophyll image

jim and company,
attached is the "first light" viirs ocean chlorophyll image that norman kuring just put together which was derived from the nasa-processed level-2 evaluation data products using the official
level-1 idps-processed sdr's as input.  not bad considering we are just about 24 hours since they opened the doors.  congratulations to everyone involved in getting us to this point.  tomorrow we should have our first truly global picture.
best regards from all of us,
the ocean biology processing group.
