DATA & FILE OVERVIEW

1. Description of dataset

Data are a simple subset of publicly available satellite observations.
Data span the bounding box of

35 deg. N  <= latitude    <= 80 deg. N
75 deg. W  <= longitude   <= 35 deg. W

Data are regridded from original resolution to 1/4 deg. latitude-longitude resolution. Original satellite observations were regridded using standard bilinear interpolation routines. Code is available at  https://github.com/gregbritten/chl_extremes_public
