SBC LTER: Reef: California kelp canopy and environmental variable dynamics

This dataset contains time series of kelp canopy area for giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, and bull kelp, Nereocystis luetkeana, and canopy biomass of giant kelp derived from Landsat satellite imagery along with time series of environmental variables known to be associated with kelp forest dynamics. Data are organized into a single NetCDF file and kelp canopy data are co-located with the nearest environmental data point.
