Monthly mean dataset of global phytoplankton taxonomic group concentrations Part.1 (2002.7-2012.12)

This dataset is a satellite product of global monthly mean phytoplankton taxonomic group (PTG) chlorophyll-a concentrations, including chlorophytes (Chlor), diatoms (Diat), haptophytes (Hapt), cryptophytes (Crypt), and cyanobacteria (Cyan). The time coverage of the dataset Part.1 is from July 2002 to December 2012. The data file includes PTG's chlorophyll-a concentration (unit: mg m-3), longitude, and latitude information, with a spatial resolution of 36 km. The values of non-water and invalid pixels are set to NaN. The data format is NetCDF (network common data form, nc).

Naming rules: "data source identification_ month and year_PTG abbreviation_data production time.nc". Examples are as follows:

MO_200207_chlor_data_20220520.nc

where 'MO' refers to MODIS-Aqua data. '200207' represents July 2002. 'Chlor_data' means chlorophytes' chlorophyll-a concentration (unit: mg m-3). The data production time is expressed as "month, month, day day, year". '.nc' is the suffix of the NetCDF data file.
