1) Read paper and understand framework
http://o3d.org/web_db_papers/edl_pdfs/DiLorenzo_Schneider2009.pdf

Read project overview:

(click on tab "Separating Basin-scale from regional variability in SSH/SST/CHLa")

2) Reproduce figure 3 of paper with NOAA SST data

3) Download CHL-a data using OpenDAP sever (I already have this)
% POBEX CHL-a
/drive/edl/NEPD/process_data/SalinityMODE/chla_opendap_monthly.m
/drive/edl/NEPD/process_data/SalinityMODE/CHLA_SW_pac pac
% interested in pac.chla100


4) CHL-a apply spatial average to remove mesoscale and frontal variability (200 km)
(e.g. a gaussian filter in space with a length of 200km)

5) Apply the model and quantify the variance

6) Test the same model with the OFES CHL-a
