PLEASE NOTE (02.27.2012)
The quality of the MODIS data has degraded significantly over the past year.
Expect either a partial reprocessing (2010-present)
or a full-mission reprocessing to correct this.
Until then, use the data for 2011 with caution.

please click on the file name(s) that you have selected
and save locally on your computer.
The individual hdf files are gzipped
(use gunzip to uncompress)
and the tar files contain gzipped hdf files.
chl = chlorophyll (units of mg / m**3 )
yyyy = year
ddd= day of year of the start of each 8day file
hdf = file type
gz = compressed with gzip (uncompress with gunzip)
The hdf files have metadata contained within them, which can be examined, for example, with program "ncdump".
clouds have been filled in the input data using our own gap-filling software.
