Note on missing data

In 2008 many merged products are missing as result of no SeaWiFS coverage. One way to view the coverage of L3 products used for GSM is using the OceanColor L3 Browser. Select SeaWiFS Chlorophyll Concentration and Daily. Look at the bottom panel and there are calendars. Red dates are missing coverage. Jan, Feb, Mar, Jul, and Aug are missing in 2008. The problems are described on the Oceancolor forum.
