chl_pp.RdThese data are time series of remotely sensed chlorophyll a (CHL) and primary production (PP) data from the Northeast Continental Shelf. Included are median and anomaly CHL and PP estimates for Ecological Production Units, along with subsets for CHL and PP by phytoplankton size class. Data from multiple sensors (OC-CCI, SeaWiFS, MODIS-Aqua) and algorithms (see https://noaa-edab.github.io/tech-doc/chl-pp.html) are presented.
chl_ppThese data contain 19872 rows and 5 columns.
Var: Specifies temporal sampling resolution (ANNUAL,MONTHLY,WEEKLY), variable type (MEDIAN,
ANOMALY, PICO, NANO, MICRO), algorithm, and sensor (OC-CCI, SeaWiFS, MODIS-Aqua).
If ANOMALY is specified, Var also include a time range from which the long-term mean was calculated.
Value: Value of variable Var.
Units: Units of variable Var.
Time: Time step of Var. Time format is given as YYYYMM for monthly time steps and YYYYWW for weekly data.
EPU: Ecological Production Unit (EPU) where sampling occurred.
Methods used to calculate median and anomaly data are available at https://noaa-edab.github.io/tech-doc/chl-pp.html. Methods used to find phytoplankton size-class information are forthcoming.
