Full Citation Examples
Ocean color remote sensing provide routine, synoptic observations of the ocean surface at spatial and temporal resolutions not attainable by moored or ship-based platforms. Ocean color sensors measure the spectral distribution of reflected sunlight, which can be used to infer the contents of the water, including chlorophyll a concentrations, a proxy for phytoplankton biomass. Phytoplankton are the base of the marine food web and are critical regulators of key biogeochemical processes. Primary productivity esimates are modeled using chlorophyll a, photosynthetic available radiation, and sea surface temperature.

| Abstract: |
Ocean color remote sensing provide routine, synoptic observations of the ocean surface at spatial and temporal resolutions not attainable by moored or ship-based platforms. Ocean color sensors measure the spectral distribution of reflected sunlight, which can be used to infer the contents of the water, including chlorophyll a concentrations, a proxy for phytoplankton biomass. Phytoplankton are the base of the marine food web and are critical regulators of key biogeochemical processes. Primary productivity esimates are modeled using chlorophyll a, photosynthetic available radiation, and sea surface temperature. |
| Purpose: |
To provide weekly, monthly and annual primary productivity estimates of the U.S. East Coast |

Data Management
| Have Resources for Management of these Data Been Identified?: | No |
|---|---|
| Approximate Percentage of Budget for these Data Devoted to Data Management: | Unknown |
| Do these Data Comply with the Data Access Directive?: | Yes |
| Is Access to the Data Limited Based on an Approved Waiver?: | No |
| Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Dissemination: | 90 |
| If Delay is Longer than Latency of Automated Processing, Indicate Under What Authority Data Access is Delayed: |
There is an approximate 60-90 delay in the release of the ancillary data needed to generate the science quality data, then additional data is needed in the time series to temporally interpolate the input data. |
| Actual or Planned Long-Term Data Archive Location: | Other |
| Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Archiving: | None |
| How Will the Data Be Protected from Accidental or Malicious Modification or Deletion Prior to Receipt by the Archive?: |
Regular server back-ups, local copies, raw data stored offsite and can be used to recreate files from backed-up programs |

Process Steps
Process Step 1
| Description: |
Level 1 (1km) ocean color data are retrieved from NASA's OceanColor Web supported by the Ocean Biology Processing Group. Level 3 (4 km) nighttime NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Pathfinder and the Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) Multiscale Ultrahigh Resolution (MUR, version 4.1) Level 4 sea surface temperature (SST) data are retrieved from NOAA NCEI and NASA JPL PODAAC websites respectively. |

Process Step 2
| Description: |
The NASA software SeaDAS is used to generate Level 2 and daily binned files of chlorophyll (CHL) and PAR and the SST data are converted into the same binned map as the ocean color data. |
