SeaWIF v5.2 monthly climatology

SeaWIF monthly climatology of chlorophyll concentration processing version 5.2

Data from Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor flown on the OrbView2 polar satellite are used to derive sea chlorophyll concentration. Original data were acquired from Goddard DAAC. Monthly climatologies were constructed from monthly 9km maps from Jan 1998 to Dec 2007 and averaged on a 0.25 degree lat/lon grid map.

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 old are considered public domain.
