MODIS derived Total Suspended Materials (TSM) datasets

Created 25/06/2017

Updated 11/08/2023

The datasets measure the Total Suspended Materials (TSM) concentrations of ocean surface waters. They are derived products from MODIS (aqua) images using NASA's SeaDAS image processing software. The extent of the datasets covers the entire Australian EEZ and surrounding waters (including the southern ocean). The spatial resolution of the datasets is 0.01 dd. The datasets contain 36 monthly TSM layers between 2009 and 2011. The unit of the datasets is g/m3.
