Monthly maps of mean chlorophyll-a achieved over the period 2003-2010. Chlorophyll-a is calculated using the OC5 algorithm developed by Ifremer.

Theoretical Biological areas calculated from two meshed physical variables: bathymetry (resolution 100m), and attenuation of light in the water column (Kpar, resolution 250m).
