attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String 7-day median chlorophyll-a concentration for Chesapeake Bay from the OLCI and VIIRS instruments, 2016-present, is produced using the Gilerson RE10 algorithm for OLCI and the standard OC3 algorithm for VIIRS. The two chlorophylls are then merged using a weighting scheme to more accurately represent regions of high chlorophyll using OLCI and regions of low chlorophyll with VIIRS.
