[29-Mar-19] The left portion of this image shows scaled chlorophyll-a retrievals for Monterey Bay, as measured by the HawkEye sensor on Seahawk on March 21, 2019. The data to the right are from MODIS/Aqua one day earlier. The center, cropped image is from HawkEye and focuses on Monterey Bay. The HawkEye chlorophyll data reveal the small scale variability in ocean chlorophyll concentrations, made possible by its high resolution.
