Sentinel-3 OLCI Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index ATBD

This Algorithmic Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD) describes the algorithm used to estimate chlorophyll content over land from Level-1 OLCI products from the Sentinel-3 mission. The algorithm called the OLCI Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index (OTCI) is a unique chlorophyll index for OLCI data. This document identifies the source of input data; outlines the physical principles and mathematical background; justifies this algorithm and then explores its limitations and assumptions.
