PACE SPEXone Level-3 Global Mapped Ocean Properties, RemoTAP Algorithm Data, version 4.0

The RemoTAP Level-3 Chlorophyll-a (Chla) product provides estimates of surface chlorophyll-a concentration, a commonly used proxy for phytoplankton biomass. Values are derived using the RemoTAP algorithm. In the current version, the variable is named chlor_a, with the long name “Chlorophyll-a concentration, OCI algorithm.” The variable and its long name will be updated in a future release to correctly reference the RemoTAP algorithm. Geophysical variable included: • chlor_a – Chlorophyll concentration (mg m⁻³)
