Ocean Color Products

Our SPoRT generated MODIS composites (below) show how clouds can be eliminated with multi-temporal ocean color imagery while still preserving data integrity and detailed horizontal gradients. The latency imagery provides insight to the age of the data making up the composites. Imagery can be animated to show the most recent trends.
