The operational atmospheric correction produces images of land that are similar to what would be observed if there were no atmosphere.
Temperature is cooler to warmer from purple to red.
This is the first view of the oceans obtained using the highly transmissive window channels not available on heritage instruments. These new bands are much less affected by the presence of atmospheric water vapor and thus present a better picture of the Sea Surface Temperature in the moist tropics. Note that the Sea Surface Temperature is not computed over the shallow ocean.
