Hydrographic derived products in the Explorer (MLD, chl-a max depth, integrated chl, spice) #13

Description

@bbest

Why. Rasmus (CTD-on-EDI meeting, 2026-09-16), for the Explorer's map views: mixed-layer depth, depth of the chl-a max and integrated chl, "hydrographic derived products … that you can then go to. That is not actually the raw values, but it's the derived products of the raw values". Together they say how much upwelling and productivity there is on the grid for a given cruise, and he asked for them within ~2 months for El Niño interest.

Depends on CalCOFI/workflows#98 (the calcofi_ctd-derived dataset: per-cast MLD, chl max depth, integrated chl in sample_measurement; per-bin spice and averaged sigma-theta in obs_env).

Done when.

  • The Explorer lists a Derived (hydrographic) group, labelled as derived with its formula on hover.
  • The per-cast products map one point per cast (and grid/hex summaries), and the per-bin ones join Sections.
  • Each links to its methods on the dataset page.
