The prospect of estimating primary production (II, mg C m− 2d− 1) from chlorophyll pigment
concentrations (Ck, mg m− 3 near the ocean surface is appealing, now that chlorophyll …

We tested global pigment and primary productivity algorithms based on a new data
compilation of over 12,000 stations occupied mostly in the northern hemisphere, from the …

The estimation by remote sensing of annual primary production at ocean basin scales is
illustrated for the Atlantic Ocean, using the monthly averaged Coastal Zone Color Scanner …

The relationships between surface chlorophyll and integrated values of chlorophyll and
primary production are examined in the California Current and the central North Pacific …

Chlorophyll images suitable for the regional analysis of the Southern California Bight were
obtained by satellite (Nimbus-7 Coastal Zone Color Scanner) on 27 February, 6 March and …

A fast method has been proposed [Antoine and Morel, this issue] to compute the oceanic
primary production from the upper ocean chlorophyll‐like pigment concentration, as it can …

An estimate of global net primary production in the ocean has been computed from the
monthly mean near-surface chlorophyll fields for 1979–1986 obtained by the Nimbus 7 …

Methods for the remote estimation of phytoplankton biomass and production rates using
multiplatform sampling strategies are essential for the better understanding of oceanic bio …

Satellite ocean color data from the Sea‐viewing Wide Field‐of‐view Sensor (SeaWiFS) were
used to examine distributions of chlorophyll concentration within the Southern Ocean for the …

The utility is assessed of remotely-sensed chlorophyll data in biological oceanography.
Oceanographic data, highly resolved in the vertical, are used as a basis for estimating the …
