Statement

This layer related to the Chlorophyll-a concentration in the Azores has been created through the NASA global data. These NASA global data have been obtained through the AQUA Nasa Mission. This mission is collecting about the Earth's water cycle, including evaporation from the oceans, water vapor in the atmosphere, clouds, precipitation, soil moisture, sea ice, land ice, and snow cover on the land and ice. Launched in a sun-synchronous orbit on May 4, 2002 Aqua is second satellite in NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) that is equipped with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). It was necessary to process the global data, which were in HDF (HDF Standard Mapped Image File) format. It has been used different software to transform the data from HDF format to ESRI raster format: HDFViewer, ConTEXT and Marine Geospatial Ecology Tools for ArcGIS. These data have a spatial resolution of 4km and the units are in mg/m3. The temporal resolution includes the annual variability between the years 2002 and 2013. Spring: 21 March through 20 June.
