Title

The NASA SeaWiFS (Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor) sensor onboard the SeaStart spacecraft was used for detecting and measuring global sea-surface chlorophyll-a concentrations throughout the world's oceans from 1997 through 2010. During that time, the satellite was able to establish an unprecedented time series of global chlorophyll-a concentrations. The sensor started experiencing issues around 2008 leading to significant missing data in 2008-2010, so it is recommended to be cautious with data post 2007. This dataset was reprocessed by NASA in 2018.

Gap Filled | Blended | Multiple Sensors

Title

This datasets blends chlorophyll data from the NOAA-SNPP and NOAA-20 VIIRS ocean color sensors. A gap-filling application was employed to fill in data gaps that uses a mathematical technique based on the data interpolating empirical orthogonal function (DINEOF). This technique exploits the coherency over location and time of the data from the two satellites to infer a value at the missing location. CoastWatch serves this daily global gap-filled product at ~9 km spatial resolution in a NetCDF file format.

Aquarius Mission

This dataset has daily composites of Aquarius Sea Surface Salinity data, version 5. Part of NASA's Earth System Science Pathfinder (ESSP) Mission International Partnership between NASA and CONAE, Aquarius provides unprecedented global maps of surface sea water salinity (SSS) to discover how our oceans respond to climate change and the water cycle. Sea surface salinity, along with sea surface temperature, determines the sea surface density. This controls the formation of water masses in the ocean and regulates the 3-dimensional ocean circulation.

Title

The altimetry data are from the Radar Altimetry Database System (RADS), first developed at Delft University of Technology, now also at the NOAA and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT). The RADS data for each mission is updated with state of the art corrections for tides, atmospheric path delay, etc. Because they are all computed consistently between the various missions, this avoids the possibility of introducing biases and drifts because of the different implementation of the various corrections by different agencies.
