| Notes | A global product (L 3 statistical product) that statistically processes total suspended matter (TSM) data for 8 days. Total suspended matter (TSM) is the amount of suspended solids in the near-surface layer of water expressed as dry weight per unit of water. It is the sum of organic matter, such as plankton and inorganic matter, such as soil. |
