Summary
Abstract:
This data set consists of global Land Reflectance (LND) data derived from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS), in orbit on the OrbView-2 (formerly SeaStar) platform. SeaWiFS data products are processed and distributed by the Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG). Processing details can be found at http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/DOCS/SW_proc.html Each SeaWiFS Level-3 binned (9 km) ... data product consists of the accumulated
data for all Level-2 products, for the specified instrument and resolution,
corresponding to a period of one day, 8 days, 16 days, 32 days, a calendar
month, a calendar year, or the cumulative mission. Each Level-3 binned data
product is stored in one HDF files. The data are stored in a representation
of a global, equal-area grid whose grid cells, or "bins," have a resolution of
9.2x9.2km (approximately 81 km2).
Each given time binning period (Daily, 8-Day, 16-Day, 32-Day, Monthly, Monthly
Climatology, Seasonal, Seasonal Climatology, Annual, Cumulative) has a separate
file for each product. These files include all product-level metadata, and data
for each bin filled for that product and time period.
Detailed information on the Level-3 binned data product format
specifications can be found in the document at
http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/DOCS/Ocean_Level-3_Binned_Data_Prod...
The SeaWiFS Level 3 Binned data files are available from the FTP site at

Access Constraints
From the start of instrument operations through January 1, 1998, all SeaWiFS
data is free and available to the public. Following January 1, 1998, SeaWiFS
data for scientific research will ONLY be available to Authorized Users who
have registered with the SeaWiFS Project. Any individual scientist who will be
conducting research that employs SeaWiFS data must be a registered Authorized
User. A single Authorized User cannot obtain data to be used anonymously by
members of a research group; all of the members of the group must be Authorized
Users.
Use Constraints
Publications of research results utilizing these data must acknowledge the
SeaWiFS Project and the Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) at the NASA
Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD, USA.
