Alexey Kaplan's Selected Ocean Color and SST Data
Ingrid-based Data Catalog access to
some satellite chlorophyll-a and SST data
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.
