The need for more effective environmental monitoring of the open and coastal ocean has
recently led to notable advances in satellite ocean color technology and algorithm research …

Ocean color satellites have provided a synoptic view of global phytoplankton for over 25
years through near surface measurements of the concentration of chlorophyll a. While …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have severe environmental and economic impacts worldwide.
Improving HAB detection is crucial because massive blooms are likely to increase in both …

The concept of phytoplankton functional types has emerged as a useful approach to
classifying phytoplankton and can be used to obtain a better understanding of ecological …

Coastal and open ocean regions throughout the world are now subject to an array of toxic,
harmful, or more intense algal blooms with an increasing trend of incidence over large …

Abstract The Coral Sea, located at the southwestern rim of the Pacific Ocean, is the only
tropical marginal sea where human impacts remain relatively minor. Patterns and processes …

Trichodesmium can fix nitrogen that is later released into the water column. This process
may be a major source of 'new'nitrogen in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), but to date this …

The genus Trichodesmium is recognized as an abundant and major diazotroph in the
Kuroshio, but the reason for this remains unclear. The present study investigated the …

Calibration and validation of satellite observations are essential and on-going tasks to
ensure compliance with mission accuracy requirements. An automated above water …

Ocean-color sensors have provided the necessary platform for synoptic-scale detection and
monitoring of the nitrogen-fixing marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium spp. Such …
