SeaWiFS chlorophyll data monthly processing 5.2

SeaWiFS derived chlorophyll concentration, monthly data, processing version 5.2

Data from Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor flown on OrbView2 polar satellite are used to derive sea chlorophyll concentration. Original data are acquired from Goddard DAAC. Monthly 0.25x0.25 lat/lon averages are constructed from monthly 9km maps.

IMPORTANT: Although the data are not copyrighted, their use is restricted to NASA authorized 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.
