A semianalytical radiance model is developed which predicts the upwelled spectral
radiance at the sea surface as a function of the phytoplankton pigment concentration for …

Variability in concentration and type of marine particles is the dominant source of optical
variability in the oceans. As part of the Optical Dynamics Experiment (ODEX) spectral …

Sequences of coastal zone color scanner (CZCS) images from the offshore region adjacent
to Vancouver Island, Canada, have been analyzed to estimate the time rate of decorrelation …

Variance in primary productivity over the northwest Atlantic continental shelf has been
studied to determine its dependence on variables amenable to satellite remote sensing. A …

Spatial variability of chlorophyll in the California Current system was analyzed using Coastal
Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) imagery. A total of 48 images were analyzed to produce …

The effect of the dissolved “yellow substance” on the quantitative retrieval of chlorophyll and
suspended sediment concentrations from remote measurements of water colour, has been …

Characteristics of temporal variability in the California Current system are analyzed using a
30‐month time series of Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) imagery. About 20–25% of the …
