GSM Products Family Description
The ocean color products available here were made using Level 3, daily, binned imagery from SeaWiFS, MODIS-Aqua, Meris, and Viirs. The products themselves are 9km if SeaWiFS is involved, 4km otherwise, daily, 8-day and monthly imagery of GSM products, confidence intervals and coverage maps. The products were generated using the Garver-Siegel-Maritorena (GSM) model described in:
Maritorena S., D.A. Siegel & A. Peterson. 2002. Optimization of a Semi-Analytical Ocean Color Model for Global Scale Applications. Applied Optics. 41(15): 2705-2714.
When multiple sensors are used, the GSM model uses the remote-sensing reflectance (Rrs) from all available sources over a given bin of the L3 grid as described in:
Maritorena, S. and D.A. Siegel. 2005. Consistent Merging of Satellite Ocean Color Data Sets Using a Bio-Optical Model. Remote Sensing of Environment, 94(4): 429-440.
Maritorena S., O. Hembise Fanton d?Andon, A. Mangin, D.A. Siegel. 2010. Merged Satellite Ocean Color Data Products Using a Bio-Optical Model: Characteristics, Benefits and Issues. Remote Sensing of Environment, 114, 8: 1791-1804 (doi: 10.1016/j.rse.2010.04.002). pdf
File Naming convention:

The data products are available in HDF (Hierarchical Data Format) files. Each product is represented in a 4320 x 2160 array. For each time period considered (Day, 8D, Monthly) there is one HDF file per product. HDF files are compressed and will self extract when opening. PNG images are also available for browsing purposes.
