The new geotifs were reprojected from their original SIN E019 projection to Albers Conic Equal Area,NAD 83, GRS 80. These images are scaled down from 16 bit data to 8 bit data. In order to get the turbidity values from the 8 bit geotifs, the following formula should be applied to the 8 bit data values: Turbidity = 10^(((8bit# - 1)*(3/250))-4.0) 2005-01-01T00:00:00 Source Contribution: The source geotifs were used to create geotifs in the Albers Conical Equal Area projection and the geographic coordinate system name of GCS North American 1983. The horizontal datum name is North American Datum 1983 with an ellipsoid of Geodetic Reference System 80 | Source Geospatial Form: unregistered | Type of Source Media: geotifs Monthly turbidity geotifs created from SeaWiFS imagery 2005-01-01 publication NOAA, NOS, CCMA 1997-09 2005-06
