ESA Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (Ocean Colour CCI): Daily global chlorophyll-a data products gridded on a sinusoidal 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 their Version 1.0 chlorophyll-a product (in mg/m3) on a sinusoidal projection at 4 km spatial resolution and at a daily time resolution. Note, this dataset is also included in the 'All Products' dataset.
This data product is on a sinusoidal equal-area grid projection, matching the NASA standard level 3 binned projection. The default number of latitude rows is 4320, which results in a vertical bin cell size of approximately 4 km. The number of longitude columns varies according to the latitude, which permits the equal area property. Unlike the NASA format, where the bin cells that do not contain any data are omitted, the CCI format retains all cells and simply marks empty cells with a NetCDF fill value. (A separate dataset is also available for data on a geographic projection.)
