Climatology and Variability of Sea Surface Temperature and Surface Chlorophyll in the Benguela and Agulhas Ecosystems As Observed by Satellite Imagery
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: H. Demarcq R. G. Barlow F. A. ShillingtonA climatology of satellite-derived sea surface semperature (SST) and surface chlorophyll a concentration (Chl), and their associated variability at time-scales from weeks to years, was constructed for the Benguela and Agulhas ecosystems. Global area coverage data at 4.5 km spatial... -
