attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String NASA GSFC Ocean Color Web distributes science-quality chlorophyll-a
concentration data from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS)
on the Orbview-2 satellite. This version is the 2018.0 Reprocessing (R2018.0). https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/reprocessing/r2018/seawifs/

The SeaWiFS instrument was launched by Orbital Sciences Corporation on the
OrbView-2 (a.k.a. SeaStar) satellite in August 1997, and collected data from
September 1997 until the end of mission in December 2010. SeaWiFS had 8
spectral bands from 412 to 865 nm. It collected global data at 4 km
resolution, and local data (limited onboard storage and direct broadcast)
at 1 km. The mission and sensor were optimized for ocean color measurements,
with a local noon (descending) equator crossing time orbit, fore-and-aft
tilt capability, full dynamic range, and low polarization sensitivity.
