Description:

  • Summary: NOAA CoastWatch distributes chlorophyll-a concentration data from NASA's Aqua satellite. Measurements are gathered by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) carried aboard the spacecraft. Data is received from the satellite and processed to level 2 by the Oregon State University (OSU) College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences (COAS).

Variables:

  • Vocabulary [ CF-1.0]:
    • MYchla (mg m-3) = Chlorophyll-a, Aqua MODIS, OSU DB, 0.0125 degrees, West US = concentration_of_chlorophyll_in_sea_water
    • altitude (m) = altitude = altitude
    • lat (degrees_north) = lat = latitude
