Cruises were on various vessels over 1992-2004. Collection instruments varied among bottle, bucket, and cooler samples, Seabird, MLML, and SeaCAT sensors, pump systems, and vessel-mounted seachest/intake pipes. Includes both shipboard/field and laboratory fluorometrics. Collection methods varied among track continuous sampling, grid, profile, station, calibration, diver, and dock. This pigment database contains estimates of chlorophyll_a concentrations and many miscellaneous biological fields, such as PHAEO, TPG, phytin_a, chl_a_allom, chl_a_prime, mv_chl_a, to name a few. Support validation of SeaWiFS and MODIS projects with broader goal of understanding the spatial and temporal distribution of biological productivity. Funding: Primarily funded by the National Aeronautic and Space Administration's (NASA's) Earth Observing System Program to support the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) Projects and is implemented under NOAA's Office of Research and Applications. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0010454 Preview graphic PNG 0010454 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2006-10-16 publication CHLOROPHYLL PIGMENTS theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS bottle bucket pump sampler instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS plankton profile pump cast theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS BAY HYDROGRAPHER EL PUMA KA'IMIKAI-O-KANALOA KLAUS WYRTKI MOANA WAVE R/V Melville USNS De Steiguer platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service NOAA Ocean Exploration dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS NASA Goddard Space Flight Center dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS MARINE OPTICS CALIBRATION EXPERIMENT (MOCE) project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Northeast Pacific Ocean (limit-180) place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS > National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Services, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOC/NOAA/OOE > Office of Ocean Exploration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 23 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
