Bio-optical data, obtained during six cruises in the Black Sea carried out during periods of
seasonal stratification in years between 1996 and 2016, have been used to parametrize …

Climate affects the characteristics of the Southern Ocean ecosystem, including bio-optical
properties. Remote sensing is a suitable approach for monitoring a rapidly changing …

Chlorophyll a (Chl a) observations from satellites exhibit a unimodal seasonal variation in
the open Black Sea that peaks during winter, which has led to the hypothesis that …
