PACE OCI Level-4 Regional Mapped Multi-Ordination ANAlysis (MOANA) Data, version 3.2
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The MOANA data suite provides picophytoplankton group abundances—Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, and picoeukaryotes—derived from ocean-color (with SST as ancillary input) and reported in cells mL⁻¹.
Description
Products can be used for time-series, regional biogeography, ecosystem assessments, and model evaluation. Note that retrieval accuracy can vary in optically complex coastal waters, so users should refer to flags and documentation when screening.
Geophysical variables in this suite include: - picoeuk_moana — Cell abundance of picoeukaryotes (cells mL⁻¹) - prochlorococcus_moana — Cell abundance of Prochlorococcus (cells mL⁻¹) - synechococcus_moana — Cell abundance of Synechococcus (cells mL⁻¹)
