From: Gap-filling of ocean color over the tropical Indian Ocean using Monte-Carlo method
Annual and seasonal maps showing the count of missing pixels (in percentage) in the ESA merged chlorophyll data over the tropical Indian Ocean. Number of missing pixels (in percentage) in the 8-day composites of 22 years of ESA OC-CCI chlorophyll data from 1998–2019 in the Indian Ocean during the months (a) January–December; (b) June–September; (c) December–February. The seasonal maps of (b) and (c) indicate the seasonal contribution to the total number of observed pixels in (a). Gap-free pixels are indicated in white. The pixels exceeding 25% of missing values are marked as black. This figure is created using Python 3.9.10 software (https://docs.python.org/release/3.9.10/).
