Fortnight Climatology Average of Corrected Chlorophyll-a Concentration from MODIS Level-2 Data in the Algerian Basin (2003-2018)

We deposited the corrected MODIS Level-2 Chlorophyll data after a specific processing steps applied for the first time to the standard cloud-corrected Level-2 Chlorophyll fields to detect and remove spurious local patterns that affect data quality, even in time series averages.

From a purely spatial point of view, the quality of the Chlorophyll field is improved more significantly by the outlier removal than the previous synthetic representation suggests.
