Regression coefficients

Gastropod regression coefficients are derived from the University of Maryland Baltimore County convolved transmittance database. To date regression coefficients have been derived for the pre-launch instrument spectral response function (160 MBytes) and the v02 post-launch instrument spectral response function (70 MBytes).
