MODIS Aggregate for the Gulf of Maine; MODIS Ocean Products SST and Chlorophyll-a 8-Day L2 Global 1.25 km Lambert Grid, DOY: 305, 2000 to present

UNH has resampled to 1.25 km grid and reprojected the granule data using the SeaDAS software (&seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/&), to make a product which can be spatially subset within the Search and Retrieve data ordering tool These regional products allow COOA users to subset MODIS 8-day SST and chlorophyll-a data across tile boundaries and to customize the spatial region of interest using an on-line GUI interface. Data are also provided in HDF-EOS, NetCDF, and a generic binary format (BSQ) with detailed header information, which can be read into most image or data processing applications.
