Dataset: SeaWIFS images (remote site)
Deployment: NBP-98-2

Estimated chlorophyll concentrations from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) in the Southern Ocean are presented. These data are used to complement optical measurements made near 60°S, 170°W by the Oregon State University (OSU) Remote Sensing Ocean Optics group (ORSOO). For this reason, only satellite data from the region and time of interest are included. The satellite data presented here are daily level 3 GAC (global area coverage) data, with a spatial resolution of 9 km. These data are from the second processing of SeaWiFS data at Goddard Space Flight Center, on Sep 30 1998. Ocean color data used in this study were produced by the SeaWiFS Project at Goddard Space Flight Center. The data were obtained from the Goddard Distributed Active Archive Center under the auspices of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Use of these data is in accord with the SeaWiFS Research Data Use Terms and Conditions Agreement. This study is part of an ongoing research effort in the Southern Ocean by the Oregon State University (O.S.U.) Remote Sensing Ocean Optics (ORSOO) group.
