Summary

Abstract: The Spatial Ecological Analysis of Marine Megavertebrate Populations (SEAMAP) initiative, a node of the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS), has developed a digital database of geo-referenced marine mammal, seabird and sea turtle distribution and abundance data.

SEAMAP seeks to augment the public understanding of the ecology of marine megavertebrates by: (1) facilitating study of ...

Quality The MLS NRT data are not as accurate as the retrievals that constitute the standard MLS products, but nevertheless the results are of scientific use and track the standard MLS products with reasonable fidelity. NRT carbon monoxide profiles are only recommended for scientific use at pressure levels from 215 hPa to 0.00464 hPa.
