| Lineage | The dataseries is composed of 140 processed rasters of monthly means of sea surface temperature (in celsius degrees) for 4km pixels for the South Atlantic area (including Falkland Islands, Tristan Da Chuna and South Georgia). The raw files were downloaded freely from OceanColour at http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/cms/ as Level 3 mapped data. Originally the data was processed using a script provided by Paul Brewin from FIG Fisheries Department. File names are coded as for instance FI_A20022132002243.L3m_MO_SST_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 with QGIS Ocean Colour plugin realised by Louise Ireland. |
