SeaWiFS chlorophyll data monthly processing 4.1

SeaWiFS derived chlorophyll concentation, monthly data, processing version 4.1

Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor flown on OrbView 2 polar satellite data are used to derive sea chlorophyll concentration. Original data are acquired from Goddard DAAC. Monthly averages were constructed from daily 9km maps and averaged on a 0.25 degree lat/lon grid map. Note that all averaging was carried out in decimal logarithm of chlorophyll concentration as well the results are given in LOG10 of mg/cubic meter of concentration.



IMPORTANT: Although the data are not copyrighted, their use is restricted to NASA authorised research. For more details regarding use of the data refer to: http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/SeaWiFSS/ANNOUNCEMENTS/APPENDIX_B.html

Only data past 5 years are considered public domain.
