Visually search the ocean color data archive. Directly download or order data from a single file to an entire mission.
Browse the entire global ocean color data set for many parameters and time periods and download PNG images or digital data in HDF format.
Time series plots of selected SeaWiFS, MODIS and OCTS Standard Mapped Images for a set of selected regions or the entire globe.
Access to the complete data archive via an 'FTP-like' directory structure. This replaces most of the functionality of the FTP server. Retrieval of data in bulk is possible with this new server.
Ocean Net Primary Productivity data products derived from MODIS and/or SeaWiFS data available from Oregon State University.
An easy-to-use, Web-based interface for the visualization and analysis of Earth Science data provided by the GES DISC DAAC.

Prince Edward Islands Plume
The topographic effect of the
Prince Edward Islands in the predominantly
eastward flowing currents of the southwestern Indian Ocean
along with input of nutrients from the volcanic soils of the
islands themselves and significant runoff of seabird and seal
guano in the abundant local rainfall often results in a
down-current plume of relatively high chlorophyll concentrations.
Farther north in the
larger
image, the higher chlorophyll associated with the Agulhas Return Current
is visible. North of that a cyclonic, cold-core eddy stands out from its
low chlorophyll surroundings.
