Brief description
ESRI grids showing ocean chlorophyll from global observations of ocean colour data from the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS). These grids have been produced by CSIRO for the National Oceans Office, as part of an ongoing commitment to natural resource planning and management through the 'National Marine Bioregionalisation' project. Chlorophyll accuracy is about ± 20%.Lineage
Progress Code: completed
Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned
Statement: The source of the data was the MODIS websit(http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/data). No additional processing or quality control was undertaken on this data set. The only changes made were to restrict the geographical and temporal coverage to the region between 90E and 180E, and 10N to 60S; and between December 2002 to January 2004. The netCDF file was changed to an ascii grid which was then used to create an arcinfo grid. The map layers and design layout were assembled using ESRI ArcGIS products. Grids used for mapping were spline interpolated from the 1/2 degree grids
