EMIS - MERIS 8Day mean sea surface Chlorophyll-a concentration (2km) in mg.m^-3

8Day mean sea surface Chlorophyll-a concentration (in mg.m^-3 (log10) at 2km resolution) derived from the MERIS sensor (Satellite remote sensing Ocean color data):
Chlorophyll is a photosynthetic pigment commonly present in all phytoplankton species. It is used as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass.
Chlorophyll concentration is a standard product from satellite-based optical sensors, usually retrieved from empirical algorithms using reflectance ratios at two or more wavebands.
