The source geotifs were used to create geotifs in the Albers Conical Equal Area projection and the geographic coordinate system name of GCS North American 1983. The horizontal datum name is North American Datum 1983 with an ellipsoid of Geodetic Reference System 80 Monthly turbidity geotifs were used to make grand monthly median images, which consist of the average of all median images for each month in the time series.(ex: Jan '98, Jan '99, Jan 00, Jan 01, Jan 02, Jan 03, Jan 04 = SW1998200401_MED670_UTM.tif). | Source Geospatial Form: unregistered | Type of Source Media: geotifs |

| » Description |
An EASI program was run on the daily turbidity geotifs of the SeaWiFS northeast region to create Median Monthly geotifs for the specified region of the Gulf of Maine. The new geotifs were reprojected from their original SIN E019 projection to Albers Conic Equal Area, NAD 83, GRS 80. These images are scaled down from 16 bit data to 8 bit data. In order to get the turbidity values from the 8 bit geotifs, the following formula should be applied to the 8 bit data values: Turbidity = 10^(((8bit# - 1)*(3/250))-4.0) |
