This level 3 product includes ocean color and satellite ocean biology data
produced or collected underEOSDIS.
This dataset may be used for studying the biology and hydrology of
coastal zones, changes in the diversity and geographical distribution of
coastal marine habitats, biogeochemical fluxes and their influence in
Earth's oceans and climate over time, and finally the impact of
climate and environmental variability and change on ocean ecosystems
and the biodiversity they support.
