chl-a Summer climatology (NASA, 9km)

This dataset is a climatological summer chlorophyll-a layer for the Southern Ocean south of 40S, following the standard NASA OC3M algorithm. The climatology was calculated from level-3 binned MODISA RRS products spanning the 2002/03 to 2015/16 austral summer seasons (summer taken as day 355 to day 80). The climatology calculated  is also included.
