ESA Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (Ocean Colour CCI): Daily global attenuation coefficient for downwelling irradiance (Kd490) gridded on a geographic projection, Version 1.0
The ESA Ocean Colour CCI project has produced global level 3 binned multi-sensor time-series of satellite ocean-colour data with a particular focus for use in climate studies.
This dataset contains the Version 1.0 Kd490 attenuation coefficient (m-1) for downwelling irradiance product on a geographic projection at approximately 4 km spatial resolution and at a daily time resolution. It is computed from the Ocean Colour CCI Version 1 inherent optical properties dataset at 490 nm and the solar zenith angle. Note, this dataset is also contained within the 'All Products' dataset.
This data product is on a geographic grid projection, which is a direct conversion of latitude and longitude coordinates to a rectangular grid, typically a fixed multiplier of 360x180. The netCDF files follow the CF convention for this projection with a resolution of 8640x4320. (A separate dataset is also available for data on a sinusoidal projection).
