Description

The Operational Mercator Ocean biogeochemical global ocean analysis and forecast system at 1/4 degree is providing 10 days of 3D global ocean forecasts updated weekly. The time series is aggregated in time, in order to reach a two full year's time series sliding window. This product includes daily and monthly mean files of biogeochemical parameters (chlorophyll, nitrate, phosphate, silicate, dissolved oxygen, dissolved iron, primary production, phytoplankton, zooplankton, PH, and surface partial pressure of carbon dioxide) over the global ocean. The global ocean output files are displayed with a 1/4 degree horizontal resolution with regular longitude/latitude equirectangular projection. These products are provided on 50 vertical levels with depths ranging from 0.49m to 5727.92m.

This dataset consists of total zooplankton concentration.
