SeaWiFS chlorophyll data monthly processing 5.1

SeaWiFS derived chlorophyll concentation, monthly data, processing version 5.1

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 averages were constructed from daily 9km maps and averaged on a 0.25 degree lat/lon grid map.

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/SeaWiFS/ANNOUNCEMENTS/APPENDIX_B.html

Data become public domain five years after capture.
