Ocean color measured from satellites provides daily global, synoptic views of spectral water-
leaving reflectances that can be used to generate estimates of marine inherent optical …

To improve our understanding of the role of phytoplankton for marine ecosystems and global
biogeochemical cycles, information on the global distribution of major phytoplankton groups …

Ocean color measured from satellites provides daily, global estimates of marine inherent
optical properties (IOPs). Semi-analytical algorithms (SAAs) provide one mechanism for …

Error-quantified, synoptic-scale relationships between chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and
phytoplankton pigment groups at the sea surface are presented. A total of ten pigment …

A three-component model was developed which calculates the fractional contributions of
three phytoplankton size classes (micro-, nano-and picoplankton) to the overall chlorophyll …

Observations from offshore regions (NW Atlantic and Arabian Sea) and from a semi-
enclosed bay (Tokyo Bay) were used to study the relationships between chlorophyll and …

Variations in inherent optical properties (IOPs), ie, the scattering and absorption
characteristics of water and its constituents (the dissolved and suspended material) are clear …

The principal goal in early missions of satellite-borne visible spectral radiometry (ocean
colour) was to create synoptic fields of phytoplankton biomass indexed as concentration of …

Using hyperspectral measurements made in the field, we show that the effective sea-surface
reflectance ρ (defined as the ratio of the surface-reflected radiance at the specular direction …

It is generally accepted that responsible stewardship of the ocean implies ecosystem-based
management. A requirement then arises for ecosystem indicators that can be applied in …
