Global-Ocean Chlorophyll-a Monthly Gridded Dataset Version 1 (MEGO-C-M)

The dataset is stored in NetCDF (.nc) format, with files organized by month—one file corresponds to data from a single month. The file naming follows the convention "pred_YYYY-MM", where "YYYY" denotes a 4-digit year and "MM" represents a 2-digit month.It contains four core variables: chlorophyll-a concentration (variable name: chla, unit: mg/m³), ocean vertical depth (variable name: depth), latitude (variable name: latitude), and longitude (variable name: longitude). These variables fully cover the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of global ocean (depth, latitude, and longitude), supporting temporal and spatial distribution analysis and research related to global ocean chlorophyll-a.
