Methodology

Made in ArcGIS 8.1. Georeferencing (rectification) of satellite images. Image of Black Sea has been added in this second version of the map.

Additional information

Observations are from SeaWiFS satellite. The concentration scale (µg/l) is valid only for oceanic waters and over-estimates the chlorophyll concentrations in coastal seas and the entire Baltic Sea to a large and variable degree, as a result of high concentrations of coloured dissolved organic material (yellow substance).
