Summary
Abstract: This data set consists of satellite measurements of global ocean color data
obtained by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), in orbit
on the Aqua (formerly EOS PM) platform. MODIS ocean color products are
processed and distributed by the Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG).

Quality From the referenced paper: 'Foods of the South Polar Skua...':

17 nest sites were involved in this study, but only 13 (numbers 2-14) were visited regularly, while skuas were present in the area, during the sutdies on breeding chronology and success. Two sites (16 and 17) were visited only once during the main study period (but were revisited in January 1991). Pairs at ... View entire text
