Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) data from 2009 provides quantitative measurements of global ocean bio-optical properties. The dataset likely contains satellite-derived observations focused on the Antarctic, Arctic, and Korea Peninsula regions. It was collected by the AMD_KOPRI organization and published via NASA's Earthdata platform.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean ecosystem productivity based on bio-optical properties
- Monitoring phytoplankton concentration changes in polar regions
- Analyzing spatial patterns of ocean color for climate studies
- Calibrating satellite-derived ocean property algorithms
Strengths
- Data originates from the SeaWiFS satellite instrument designed for quantitative ocean measurements
- Focus on specific geographic regions (Antarctic, Arctic, Korea Peninsula) provides targeted insights
Limitations
- Last updated 2009-12-31 23:59:59.999000; freshness should be verified
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
