chl: Chlorophyll data

Description

Data relating to the callibration of remote sensed satellite data. The SeaWifs satellite provides estimates of chlorophyll concentration at the ocean surface from measurements of ocean surface colour. It is of interest to attempt to use these data to predict direct bottle measurements of chl. conc.

Usage

data(chl)

Format

A data frame with 6 columns and 13840 rows. The columns are:

lon

longitude

lat

latitude

jul.day

Julian day (i.e. day of year starting at Jan 1st.)

bath

Ocean depth in metres.

chl

direct chlorophyll concentration measured at given location from a bottle sample.

chl.sw

chl. conc. as measured by Seawifs Satellite
