The CHLO Viewer

What does the CHLO Viewer do?

The program visualises the ocean chlorophyll data supplied over EUMETCast and from the OceanColor Web site.

These data sources are supported

HDF4 data sent over EUMETCast (EUMETSAT Data Channel 8) with files named like:

A2010225.L3m_DAY_CHL_chlor_a_4km.bz2

It appears that at some pint in the past EUMETSAT's supplier changed the format from HDF4 to NetCDF, and the more recent files will no longer open in the viewer.  But you can still use data from the following site:

HDF4-format 4km and 9km data from the OceanColor Web site, files named like:

A20101822010212.L3m_MO_CHL_chlor_a_4km.bz2
A20101822010212.L3m_MO_CHL_chlor_a_9km.bz2
