| Full
Product Set |
|
The Full Product Set (FPS) covers the merged Level-3 ocean color products in the time period 1997-2007. The accuracy of the FPS has been assessed by comparing with the in-situ match-up data and is reflected in the Validation Report. In case of any question, or problem, please send a mail to service@globcolour.info. Products for 2008 will be also available once consolidated. |
| NRT
Service |
|
The Near Realtime (NRT) service consists of daily and weekly Level-3
ocean color products matching the FPS in information content. The
NRT service is based on the merging of MERIS and MODIS level-2 data
over the whole globe, currently using version 1.1 of the GlobColour
processing system.
|
| Demonstration products
|
|
Several demonstration products have been generated for
testing and user feedback. They are available via the HERMES server:
PAR, Heated layer depth (2003), Secchi disk depth (2003 and
NRT), Primary Production (2003).
|
| Diagnostic
Data Sets |
|
The diagnostic
data set (DDS) is computed from the input Level-2 data products, as
well as extracted from the output merged Level 3 products.
The DDS is used as the basis for the sensor characterisation and merging
algorithm intercomparison and validation task. |
| MERIS
Level 3 |
|
Provides access
to MERIS Level-3 products using a 9 km sinusoidal grid.
Should a user be interested by the MERIS daily level 3 products at
4.6 km resolution used as input to the merging, please contact service@globcolour.info. |
| In-situ
Data |
|
The link points
toward the UoP based GlobColour Database. Access is only provided
to GlobColour consortium members, but links are provided to WWW based
in-situ sources of data that have been included in the database. |
| Google-Earth
visualisation |
|
The GlobColour
project provides access to some of its data in a form compatible with
Google-EarthTM.
The objective is to help people to easily visualise the Ocean Color
parameters in a very simple way by using a well-known, easy interactive
tool.
The current distribution is still in a "beta" version where several
distribution modes are tested (month-per-month maps, temporal animations,
all fields for each month in a single set...).
Updates of the distribution packages are planned, including new options
based on more sophisticated Google-Earth functions. The consolidated
version will be finalised with the availability of the FPS data set. |
| Production
board |
|
A
board has been setup to reflect the real-time evolution of the GlobColour
production. This production is expressed in % of processed data per
month. A value of 80% means that 80% of the input data for the corresponding
month has been processed. All stages of the data production is or
will be covered by this board (DDS, FPS, L3 track, daily, 8days and
monthly products). A colour scale is used, providing a quick and easy
evaluation of the status. The board is refreshed every day. |
