Good agreement between satellite‐derived and shipboard measurements of chlorophyll a+
pheophytin a concentrations results from the covariance of each of the nonwater color …

Remote sensing of ocean color provides data on the average photosynthetic pigment
concentration in the first optical depth. To model primary productivity in the water column …

Surface phytoplankton populations, that persist for several weeks and over spatial scales>
100km, can be monitored most effectively by satellite. We show how the Coastal Zone Color …

Absolute values of chlorophyll a concentration and its spatial and seasonal variations in the
Black Sea were assessed by using satellite CZCS and in situ data. Since the satellite CZCS …

This study describes for the first time the spatial structure of surface phytoplankton pigments
(chlorophyll a plus phaeophytin) in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (GSL), Canada, based on 80 …

CZCS data taken over the Ligurian Sea on November 9, 1978 are used to produce surface-
chlorophyll maps offshore of Ostia near Rome (Italy). The chlorophyll α concentration, C …

Satellite imagery of the North Sea from the Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) shows
complex seasonal changes in the optical and biological properties of surface waters …

The Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) on Nimbus-7, launched in October 1978, is the
only sensor in orbit that is specifically designed to study living marine resources. The initial …

The ocean color spectrum is defined as the ratio of the spectrum of light upwelled from the
sea to the spectrum of light incident on the sea surface. Ocean color spectra, observed from …
