Chlorophyll-a Satellite Data for the Estuary and the Gulf of St. Lawrence: CCI, Monthly Mean | Données satellitaires de chlorophylle-a pour l'estuaire et le golfe du Saint-Laurent : CCI, moyennes mensuelles
Listed in St. Lawrence Global Observatory - CIOOS | Observatoire global du Saint-Laurent - SIOOC
The colour of seawater, seen from space, is used to estimate the chlorophyll content in the water.
Description
This pigment is an index of the biomass of microscopic algae. Compared to the Atlantic Ocean, the waters of the Estuary and the Gulf of St.
Lawrence are rather isolated and are strongly mixed with fresh water from many rivers. The method for retrieving chlorophyll must be adapted to these specificities. This dataset presents the result of a method developed to find the concentration of chlorophyll-a derived by various satellites (5) in the estuary and the Gulf of St.
