NASA Data Conversion Examples

Coastal Zone Color Scanner includes:

The remote sensing of ocean color from space provides information on the abundance of phytoplankton and the concentration of dissolved and particulate material in surface ocean waters. This information can be used to investigate biological productivity in the oceans, marine optical properties, the interaction of winds and currents with ocean biology, and how human activities influence the oceanic environment. The Goddard DAAC provides access to data from ocean color sensors currently in operation, as well as historical data sets.
