Description
Summary:Level-3 daily merged Copernicus-GlobColour multi-sensor Remote Sensing Reflectance (Rrs(λ)) from the Copernicus Marine Environmental Monitoring Service (CMEMS) is used as data source. The aCDOM(443) was estimated using the gsmA parametrizations for the southern Beaufort Sea (Matsuoka et al., 2013) with some modifications; while DOC was retrieved using an empirical aCDOM(443)-DOC relationship developed by Juhls et al. (2022), valid across the fluvial-marine transition zone of the Mackenzie River–Beaufort Sea region Level-4 daily maps of aCDOM(443) and DOC for the Mackenzie River-Beaufort Sea region (122-142ºW and 68-73ºN) are distributed in the regular latitude–longitude grid at a spatial resolution of 4 km. The data is available from 1st January 2002 to 31st October 2023. Additionally, 8-day means, and monthly mean data are also provided. The dataset consists of four variables: (i) Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter at 443 nm (aCDOM(443) [m-1]) (ii) Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC [µM]) (iii) water type mask (coastal/oceanic) (iv) model relative error for Rrs(443) (∆Rrs(443) [%]) (v) aCDOM(443) uncertainty (σaCDOM [m-1]) (vi) DOC uncertainty (σDOC [µM]) YYYYMMDD_aCDOM443_DOC_l4_4km_P1D.nc (This dataset contains daily Level-4 aCDOM and DOC product from satellite observations for the Mackenzie River-Beaufort Sea region) YYYYMMDD_YYYYMMDD_aCDOM443_DOC_l4_4km_P8D.nc (This dataset contains daily Level-4 aCDOM and DOC product from satellite observations for the Mackenzie River-Beaufort Sea region) YYYYMMDD_YYYYMMDD_aCDOM443_DOC_l4_4km_P1M.nc (This dataset contains monthly Level-4 aCDOM and DOC product from satellite observations for the Mackenzie River-Beaufort Sea region) In the regime-shifting Arctic, organic carbon export from river watersheds is expected to increase due to changes in hydrological regimes and permafrost thawing. Given the impact these changes have on the biogeochemical cycles of coastal and shelf areas, robust monitoring of major Arctic rivers is needed. During ice-free season, ocean color ...
