Chlorophyll-a Data Derived From Satellite Images for the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence, Since 1997 | Données de chlorophylle-a dérivées d'images satellitaires pour l'estuaire et le golfe du St-Laurent, depuis 1997

This dataset presents the result of a model developed to retrieve chlorophyll-a (chla) concentration from various satellites in the St. Lawrence Estuary and Gulf. This second version is an extension of the first one(catalogue.ogsl.ca/dataset/dcb7ed2e-bce9-40c5-a197-71ac6b46bd5c), with estimates derived from a retuning of the model based on additional in situ and satellite-derived data.

The input data is now exclusively from the European Space Agency's Ocean Color Climate Change Initiative (CCI) program. This dataset is produced as part of the Coastal Environmental Baseline Data Program under Fisheries and Oceans Canada's Oceans Protection Plan.
