| Lineage | This dataseries is compposed of 140 processed rasters of monthly means of chlorophyl a concentration (in mg.m-3) for 4km pixel for the South Atlantic area (including Falkland Islands, Tristan Da Chuna and South Georgia). The raw files were downloaded freely from OceanColour at http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=AISMessagesAStatic as Level 3 mapped data. Originally the data was processed using a script provided by Paul Brewin from FIG Fisheries Department and adjusted. File names are coded as for instance FI_A20022132002243.L3m_MO_Chla_4_out.tif (It shows the year and the day number at start and at end of the one month period). Currently these files can be downloaded through QGIS OceanColour plugin realised by Louise Ireland. |
