SeaWiFS calibration/validation historical pigment database 1993 (NCEI Accession 9400037)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: September 26, 2026 at 11:51 PM | Dataset Last Updated: April 08, 2025 at 12:00 AM
The Profiles of Chlorophyll data from NASA Goddard and Phytoplankton wet weight data in this accession was submitted by Mr. Charles R. McClain of US National Aeronautic and Space Administration, Washington DC. The data was collected in 15 different oceans and compiled in SeaWiFS calibration/validation historical pigment database. There are two versions of the data base. One contains approx. 180,000 records for depths of 0-10 meters. A second file contains approx. 330,000 records and includes all available depths provided by the individual investigators. Detailed Documentation is available for data format. For further information re this data set contact: Jim Firestone, Sr. Programmer/analyst, General Sciences Corp./SAIC Code 970.2 - SeaWiFS project, NASA/GSFC, Greenbelt, MD 20771, Tel. (301)286-7108
