ENVISAT MERIS Level-4 Global Mapped Phytoplankton Carbon Data, version 2022.0
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The carbon_phyto product provides phytoplankton carbon concentration derived from NASA ocean-color observations.
Description
Typical uses include quantifying biomass and carbon stocks, assessing ecosystem productivity and change, driving biogeochemical models, and providing biological context alongside chlorophyll, PAR, SST, and other environmental variables. Refer to the file metadata and product documentation for algorithm details, flags, and any mission-specific caveats (especially in optically complex coastal/inland waters).
Geophysical variables in this suite include: - carbon_phyto — Phytoplankton carbon concentration (mg m⁻³)
