Published by National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: December 19, 2025 | Last Modified: 2005-01-01T00:00:00.000+00:00
GeoTif images of chlorophyll, turbidity, and SST were created of the region. Then an EASI script was run on the geotifs to extract the data (drill the data) from specific points (or bitmaps) in each scene for the timeseries. After the output was created in text file format, they were opened up in Microsoft Excel and spreadsheets were created for each location. Chlorophyll, turbidity, and SST are all contained in one spreadsheet bearing the name of the location. The drilled data shows the files used for the data drill, the mean of the pixels used in the data drill, and the number of pixels used to calculate the mean for each image used.
