Monthly Chlorophyll geotifs created from SeaWiFS imagery

Source Contribution:

The source geotifs were used to create geotifs in the Albers Conical Equal Area projectionand the geographic coordinate system name of GCS North American 1983. The horizontaldatum name is North American Datum 1983 with an ellipsoid of Geodetic Reference System 80 | Source Geospatial Form: unregistered | Type of Source Media: geotifs

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 600679
Description:

An EASI program was run on the daily Chlorophyll geotifs of the SeaWiFS northeast region to create Seasonal Median geotifs for the specified region of the Gulf of Maine. These images were created using the following months: Winter= December, January, February Fall= September, October, November Spring= March, April, May Summer= June, July, August. These seasonal Median chlorophyll geotifs were used to make grand seasonal Median images, which consist of the average of all Median images for each season in the time series.(ex: spring '98, spring '99, spring 00, spring 01, spring 02, spring 03, spring 04 = SW1998200401_GrdSSN_AvgCHL.tif).The new geotifs were reprojected from their original SIN E019 projection to Albers ConicEqual Area,NAD 83, GRS 80. These images are scaled down from 16 bit data to 8 bit data. In order to get the Chlorophyll values from the 8 bit geotifs, the following formula should be appliedto the 8 bit data values: CHL = 10^(((8bit # -1)*(3/250))-1.3)
