Adaptive Ecosystem Climatology Beta 4 Model and Satellite Climatology

Published by DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: April 12, 2026 at 09:25 PM | Dataset Last Updated: September 23, 2014 at 12:00 AM
The Adaptive Ecosystem Climatology (AEC) is produced by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). It consists of two datasets covering multiple regions of the ocean. One is a climatology derived from satellite data, the other is a climatology derived from a computer model of parts of the ocean that simulates physical and biological phenomena. The satellite climatology has data for chlorophyll concentration and sea surface temperature. The model climatology has fields for sea surface height, temperature, current, and concentrations of various types of plankton on the surface and underwater. Spatial resolution ranges from 1km to 4km depending on the product. These data are in NetCDF version 3 format with metadata attributes included.
