ESA Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (Ocean_Colour_cci): Global attenuation coefficient for downwelling irradiance (Kd490) gridded on a geographic projection, Version 3.1
(http://dx.doi.org/10.5285/9c334fbe6d424a708cf3c4cf0c6a53f5)
Abstract
The ESA Ocean Colour CCI project has produced global level 3 binned multi-sensor time-series of satellite ocean-colour data with a particular focus for use in climate studies.
This dataset contains the Version 3.1 Kd490 attenuation coefficient (m-1) for downwelling irradiance product on a geographic projection at approximately 4 km spatial resolution and at a number of time resolutions (daily, 5-day, 8-day and monthly composites). It is computed from the Ocean Colour CCI Version 3.1 inherent optical properties dataset at 490 nm and the solar zenith angle. Note, these data are also contained within the 'All Products' dataset.
This data product is on a geographic grid projection, which is a direct conversion of latitude and longitude coordinates to a rectangular grid, typically a fixed multiplier of 360x180. The netCDF files follow the CF convention for this projection with a resolution of 8640x4320. (A separate dataset is also available for data on a sinusoidal projection).
Please note, this dataset has been superseded. Later versions of the data are now available.
