  • These datasets provide the concentration of chlorophyll-a in phytoplankton in the sea surface layer, derived from GCOM-C satellite observations.

  • Three versions of the dataset are available (V1, V2, and V3), with V3 being the most recent and ongoing with a latency of 3-4 days.

  • V3 uses the same algorithm as V1 for processing and is recommended for data after 2021-11-28, superseding V2.

  • GCOM-C aims to understand long-term global changes and fluctuations in the radiation budget and carbon cycle.
