Brief description

This data set contains the MODIS Aqua ocean colour satellite data from the period December 2002 to January 2004. The data are received as monthly composites, with a 4 km resolution, and are constrained to the region between 90E and 180E, and 10N to 60S. The data set is a level 3 product, where the chlorophyll accuracy has been assessed and the uncertainties in the product well established in a systematic and statistically robust way representing global rather than regional conditions. The data was sourced from http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/. The data are in hdf format, and consist of 96 files totaling approximately 850 MB.
