Sentinel-3B OLCI Level-4 Global Binned Earth-observation Reduced Resolution (ERR) Phytoplankton Carbon Data, version 2022.0

Typical uses include quantifying biomass and carbon stocks, assessing ecosystem productivity and change, driving biogeochemical models, and providing biological context alongside chlorophyll, PAR, SST, and other environmental variables. Refer to the file metadata and product documentation for algorithm details, flags, and any mission-specific caveats (especially in optically complex coastal/inland waters).

This activity was informed by the Satellite Needs Working Group (SNWG), an interagency effort of the U.S. Government dedicated to identifying and addressing Earth observation needs across U.S. civilian federal agencies. Geophysical variables in this suite include: - carbon_phyto — Phytoplankton carbon concentration (mg m⁻³)
