OLCI_300m_WCP_phytoplankton

<p>Daily full resolution (300m) phytoplankton type product derived from combined Sentinel 3A and 3B Ocean and Land Colour Imager (OLCI) reflectance using the algorithm of Smith and Bernard 2020 (https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2020.00061), but with the addition of a <em>Mesodinium rubrum</em> type. The region covered by this product is 31 to 35 degrees South, and 17 to 20 degrees East, for the period of 2016-04-26 to 2025-06-30. Within this dataset the following values represent the following phytoplankton types:</p> <p>0 = no bloom&nbsp;</p> <p>1 = Low biomass mixed assemblage</p> <p>2 = High biomass mixed assemblage</p> <p>3 = high likelihood of Pseudo nitzschia&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>4 = Mesodinium rubrum&nbsp;</p> <p>5 = Low biomass Dinoflagellate conditions&nbsp;</p> <p>6 = High biomass Dinoflagellates conditions (classic "red tide")</p> <p>NaN = cloud / land / high sunglint / no satellite data</p>
