Satellite Data Details

1. Sea surface temperature  – (in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit) produced from MODIS Aqua data with a 2 km/pixel daily resolution. Values represent a 5-day rolling-mean of the current plus 4 previous days. Data distributed by NASA’s Ocean Biology Processing Group.

2. Surface chlorophyll concentration (In mg/m³ ) produced from MODIS Aqua data with a 2 km/pixel daily resolution. Values represent a 5-day rolling-mean of the current and 4 previous days. Data distributed by NASA’s Ocean Biology Processing Group.

3. Sea Level Anomaly (in meters or feet) Updated daily from multiple altimetry observations with a resolution of 25 km/pixel. It represents the deviation in ocean elevation from the mean circulation and is useful to identify structures such as eddies. distributed by E.U. Copernicus Marine Service Information.

4.  Depth of the Mixed Layer (in meters or feet) produced daily with data from the Operational Mercator Global Ocean Analysis and Forecast System with a spatial resolution of 9 km/pixel. It is used to indicate the depth immediately above the thermocline. Data distributed by E.U. Copernicus Marine Service Information.

5. Surface currents speed (in knots, shaded) and direction (black arrows) are produced from OSCAR data with a spatial resolution of 37 km/pixel and updated every 5 days. Values represent the mean of a 5-day period. Data reference: ESR. 2009.OSCAR third degree resolution ocean surface currents. Ver. 1.  PO.DAAC, CA, USA. http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/OSCAR-03D01.
