Alexey Kaplan's Selected Ocean Color and SST Data
Ingrid-based Data Catalog access to
some satellite chlorophyll-a and SST data
[Please note: Access to Ingrid-based Data
Catalogs below is via port 81 of our data server. Some firewalls
disallow access to any ports other than the default (port 80). If this
is the case, you will see these links hanging forever upon the click,
or will get an error message. Possible solutions are to change your
firewall settings to allow the access to port 81, or access the links
from the outside of your firewall. If these approaches are impossible,
write to me, potentially I can help by moving part of the data to a
server that uses port 80.]
Chlorophyll-a 9km merged product from MODIS-Aqua and SeaWIFS
Monthly
product, obtained via the ftp://oceans.gsfc.nasa.gov/Merged/Monthly/ is accessible here.
Below are 3 derived products of this data set: monthly fields averaged to 1x1 degree grid, 12 monthly climatological 1x1 degree fields computed for the period 2003-2006, and monthly anomalies, i.e. deviations from climatological fields:
- Monthly 1x1 degree fields are accessible here.
- Monthly 1x1 degree climatological fields averaged for the 4-year period of 2003-2006 are accessible here.
- Monthly 1x1 degree fields of anomalies relative to the
2003-2006 climatology are accessible here.
