Hello,

I downloaded daily PIC data for two areas south of Chile and south of New Zealand respectively and I noticed that the daily grids had a lot of 'gaps'. To get more data I downloaded 8-daily and monthly PIC data for the same areas. Whereas the 8-daily grids had also low coverage of the locations of interest, the monthly grids were mostly complete. Could someone clarify for me whether the 8-daily and monthly PIC grids are derived from the daily grids (by averaging daily values?) or each period is derived separately following different processing workflows?

Thank you in advance.

Here is the technical report regarding our L3 binning scheme:

With the website updating, please let me know if the link fails.

Thanks a lot, that's very helpful.
The link works fine.
