ESA Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (Ocean_Colour_cci): Global ocean colour data products gridded on a sinusoidal projection (All Products) at 4km resolution, Version 6.0

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 all their Version 6.0 generated ocean colour products on a sinusoidal projection at 4 km spatial resolution and at a number of time resolutions (daily, 5-day, 8-day, monthly and yearly composites) covering the period 1997 - 2022.

Data products being produced include: phytoplankton chlorophyll-a concentration; remote-sensing reflectance at six wavelengths; total absorption and backscattering coefficients; phytoplankton absorption coefficient and absorption coefficients for dissolved and detrital material; and the diffuse attenuation coefficient for downwelling irradiance for light of wavelength 490nm. Information on uncertainties is also provided.This data product is on a sinusoidal equal-area grid projection, matching the NASA standard level 3 binned projection.
