Dataset: Forecasting chlorophyll-a concentration in the North Sea

This dataset was produced within the context of the Forecasting Water Quality from Space study proposed by and granted to Brockmann Consult GmbH in reply to ESA's Invitation to Tender for Future EO-1 EO Science for Society Permanently Open Call for Proposals, ESA Ref. ESA AO/1-10468/20/I-FvO. The objective of the study was to provide time series forecasts of chlorophyll concentration. Predicted chlorophyll concentration is derived from EO-based retrievals of chlorophyll concentration and several covariates, which are routinely provided by (re)analysis and forecast services based on biological, chemical, physical, and meteorological models.
