How should I cite information and data products obtained from the Oceancolor web?

For information contained on the website:

Feldman, G. C., C. R. McClain,  <PAGE>,Ocean Color Web,
Eds. Kuring, N., Bailey, S. W., Franz, B. F., Meister, G., Werdell, P. J., Eplee, R. E.,
<Page DATE>. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. <Access DATE>. <URL>

For data products retrieved from the website:

Feldman, G. C., C. R. McClain,  Ocean Color Web, <SENSOR> Reprocessing <reprocessing #>,
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Eds. Kuring, N., Bailey, S. W.
<Access DATE>. http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/

replace <PAGE> with the page title
replace <Page DATE> with the date of page modification (found at the bottom of the page)
replace <Access DATE> with the date of access
replace <SENSOR> with the appropriate sensor (e.g. SeaWiFS)
replace <reprocessing #> with the appropriate reprocessing version (e.g. 5)
replace <URL> with the page URL (e.g. http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/)
