Project
Completed
The dataset contains satellite-derived sea-surface ocean color (chlorophyll-a) measurements collected by means of the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) onboard the NASA SeaStar satellite. The data is available at weekly and monthly intervals at a spatial resolution of 0.1 degrees. The geographic coverage extends globally, and the temporal coverage ranges from 1997-present.
To provide users with historical ocean surface color (chlorophyll-a) data.
