Spectral slope between 275-295 nm of the surface Coloured Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) in the Arctic ocean estimated from satellite remote sensing data

Spectral slope of the coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the Arctic ocean surface layer estimated from satellite remote sensing reflectance observed by NASA AQUA/MODIS, using the method described by Fichot et al. 2013. Monthly spectral slope is calculated from the Level 3 monthly remote sensing reflectance at 443, 488, 531, 555 and 667 nm. Temporal resolution of the satellite data is monthly, and nominal spacial resolution is 4km. Data period covers July 2002 to December 2018.
