*Details/Specifics of Change:*No more ocean color data from SeaWiFS due
to the increasing unreliability of the SeaWiFS data flow,

research and numerous attempts at communication with the spacecraft.
CoastWatch users can continue to use MODIS/Aqua-derived and
MERIS/Envisat-derived ocean color products. ***
