This is a chlorophyll product developed from CMEMS product
OCEANCOLOUR_ATL_CHL_L3_REP_OBSERVATIONS_009_067:
DATASET-OC-ATL-CHL-MULTI-CCI-L3-CHL_1KM_DAILY-REP-V02. There are two gridded
products, yearly growing season (March-October) mean chlorophyll
concentrations, and yearly growing season 90th percentile chlorophyll
concentrations. The data covers the period 1998 - 2014 and is at 1km
resolution.
Means and 90th percentiles are also provided for a set of regions used for
eutrophication assessments: MSFD regions, regional seas, WFD coastal areas,
and Ecohydrodynamic regions.
Files:
grseason_chl_mean_98_14_v2.nc and grseason_chl_90pc_98_14_v3.nc contain
gridded growing season means and 90th percentiles for the years 1998 to
2014, at approximately 1km resolution.
grseason_chl_mean_98_14_v2_5km.nc and grseason_chl_90pc_98_14_v3_5km.nc
contain gridded growing season means and 90th percentiles for the years 1998
to 2014, at approximately 5km resolution.
chl_MSFD_grseasonstats_1998_2014.csv contains growing season chlorophyll
means and 90th percentiles for each of the MSFD regions: Greater North Sea
and Celtic Seas for the years 1990 - 2014.
chl_RegionalSeas_grseasonstats_1998_2014.csv contains growing season
chlorophyll means and 90th percentiles for each of the regional seas (1-8,
also known as charting progress 2 regions) for the years 1990 - 2014.
chl_WFD_coastal_grseasonstats_1990_2014_v1b.csv contains growing season
chlorophyll means and 90th percentiles for each of the WFD coastal
assessment regions, for the years 1990 - 2014.
chl_Ecohydro_grseasonstats_1998_2014.csv contains growing season
chlorophyll means and 90th percentiles for Ecohydrodynamic regions (cropped
to the MSFD region extent).
Corresponding shapefiles for all of these regions are also available (
