Fluorescence Line Height, Aqua MODIS, NPP, 2002-2013, DEPRECATED OLDER VERSION (8 Day Composite)

Published by NOAA NMFS SWFSC Environmental Research Division | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 06:14 PM | Dataset Last Updated: November 01, 2013 at 12:00 AM
MODIS measures chlorophyll fluorescence, which gives insight into the physiology of phytoplankton in the ocean. When phytoplankton are under stress, the rate at which they fluoresce can be decoupled from the rate of photosynthetic productivity. THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCT: intended strictly for scientific evaluation by professional marine scientists.
