ADEOS OCTS L3 GAC Binned Map Ocean Color (OCC) (1-Month)

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

ADEOS OCTS L3BM GAC OCC 1month dataset is obtained from OCTS sensor onboard ADEOS and produced by NASDA (National Space Development Agency of Japan).

Description

Advanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS) is sun-synchronous quasi-recurrent orbiter launched on August 17, 1996, and carries OCTS (Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner) and AVNIR (Advanced Visible and Near-Infrared Radiometer) sensor.The main objectives of ADEOS (MIDORI) is to contribute to elucidation of phenomena of the earth system through integrated observation of geophysical parameters using a number of sensors.

ADEOS operation on orbit was given up on June 30, 1997, because the generated power was lost due to the accident of the blanket of the solar array paddle breaking. OCTS observes the amount of chlorophyll and various substances contained in the sea, sea surface temperature, cloud formation process, etc by receiving 12 bands of wavelengths from the visible light region to the thermal infrared region. The observation field of OCTS is about 1400km, and it is possible to scan in the north-south direction.

Those sensors aim at collecting global data for mainly understanding the state of the ocean and its phenomena. This product is monthly L3BM, Level 3 Binned map GAC (Global Area Coverage) OCC (Ocean Color-Chlorophyll-a concentration) product. Level 3 Binned map products are generated from Level 3 Binned products and classified into three subproducts: ocean color, vegetation, and sea surface temperature.

GAG OCC product is daily or weekly, monthly, annually integrate. This product is one of the Ocean Color product stores, and these parameters are array of chlorophyll a concentration and palette data. The unit of geophysical quantity in this product is "mg/m-3".

The provided format is HDF4 format. The image data object, 13m-data, in each binned map product is a byte-valued, 4,096

  • 2,048 array of an Equal-Area Rectangular projection of the globe.
