Chlorophyll-a, Aqua MODIS, NPP, 0.025 degrees, Pacific Ocean, 2006-present, EXPERIMENTAL (Monthly Composite), Lon+/-180

Published by NOAA NMFS SWFSC Environmental Research Division | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 06:09 PM | Dataset Last Updated: August 03, 2022 at 12:00 AM
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.
