Differences in sampling between MODIS-Aqua (top) and VIIRS (bottom). The differences are smaller than between MODIS and SeaWiFS. Notice increased coverage by VIIRS in Southern Ocean.

Note the plumes of high chlorophyll in the Southern Ocean that are artifacts of sampling. Missing data along some continental shelves, which is due to the underlying model domain.

Bias-Correction Using In Situ Chlorophyll Data
We use 3 archives:NODCSeaBASSAMT
Quality checked using blended analysis (used for bias correction ofSST by the Reynolds methodology) for the period 2012-2014
![Page 12: Combining Data Assimilation with an Algorithm to Improve the Consistency of VIIRS Chlorophyll: Toward a Multidecadal, Multisensor Global Record NASA ROSES.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e5f5503460f94b58e49/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
After QC, we have 611 data points of chlorophyll for 2012-2014

Plans
Obtain more in situ data
Obtain new MODIS-Aqua 2015 re-processing
Develop statistics; assess the need for bias correction
Begin discussions on how to implement Level-4 assimilated data products
