Title: Chlorophyll, NOAA S-NPP VIIRS, Near Real-Time, Global 4km, Level 3, 2017-present,  Weekly

Summary:
Visible and Infrared Imager/Radiometer Suite/Suomi-NPP (VIIRS) Level-3 (WW00), Geometric Mean Baseline of Chlorophyll, Near Real-Time, Global, Weekly, processed by NOAA. EXPERIMENTAL.

Dataset ID: noaacwNPPVIIRSchlaWeekly


Title: Chlorophyll-a, Aqua MODIS, NPP, 0.0125°, West US, EXPERIMENTAL, 2002-present (8 Day Composite), Lon+/-180

Summary:
NOAA CoastWatch distributes chlorophyll-a concentration data from NASA's Aqua Spacecraft.  Measurements are gathered by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) carried aboard the spacecraft.  The algorithm currently used in processing the water leaving radiance to chlorophyll concentration has not yet been accepted as science quality.  In addition, assumptions are made in the atmospheric correction in order to provide the data in a timely manner.

Title: Fluorescence, Aqua MODIS, NPP, 0.0125°, West US, 2002-present (8 Day Composite), Lon+/-180

Summary:
MODIS measures chlorophyll fluorescence, which gives insight into the physiology of phytoplankton in the ocean. When phytoplankton are under stress, the rate at which the fluoresce can be decoupled from the rate of photosynthetic productivity.

VARIABLES (all of which use the dimensions [time][altitude][latitude][longitude]):
fluorescence (microwatt cm-2 s-2 nm-1 sr-1)


Title: SST, Aqua MODIS, NPP, 0.0125°, West US, Day time (11 microns), 2002-present (8 Day Composite), Lon+/-180

Summary:
NOAA CoastWatch provides SST data from NASA's Aqua Spacecraft.  Measurements are gathered by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) carried aboard the spacecraft.
