Datasets

This set of holdings provides access to surface marine meteorological weather reports and observations made by merchant
and naval ships, drifting buoys and other platforms and vessels over
the global ocean. Data have been collated and harmonised and quality control checks have been performed, but no attempt
has been made to assess or correct for potential biases.
Data are provided for a range of commonly observed variables.

This dataset provides global daily estimates of ocean surface chlorophyll-a concentration and remote sensing reflectance derived from multiple satellite sensors. These two products are part of the broader discipline of ocean colour remote sensing, which analyses ocean surface radiances measured from space to derive information about the optical properties and constituents of the upper ocean.
