AB: The Ocean Color Web http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov was developed and is maintained by the Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center as a means for disseminating information and data in support of NASA's Ocean Color program. The OBPG is responsible for the processing, validation, and distribution of Ocean Color and SST data from MODIS, and Ocean Color data from SeaWiFS, OCTS, and CZCS. The Ocean Color web is the public interface to a fully automated data system for acquisition, processing, analysis, and distribution of data from these spaceborne sensors. Key features include web and ftp-based data access, timely availability of data products, data subscription services, parameter and regional subsetting, image support for field campaigns, extensive documentation, and user support forums. This paper presents an overview of the valuable Ocean Color Web resources that allow the scientific community to browse, download, and analyze Ocean Color and SST data from multiple satellites.
