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

It has long been realized that approaches using satellite ocean-color remote sensing are the
only feasible means to quantify primary productivity (PP) adequately for the global ocean …

The two‐population absorption model of Sathyendranath et al. is extended to retrieve the
specific absorption coefficients (absorption per unit concentration of chlorophyll‐a) of the …

A protocol is developed for calculation of phytoplankton production from remotely-sensed
data in the operational mode. The key element is an objective assignment, on a pixel-by …

Phytoplankton light absorption spectra (aϕ (λ)) were measured in the Canadian Arctic (ie,
the Amundsen Gulf, Canadian Arctic Archipelago, northern Baffin Bay and the Hudson Bay …

Satellite image studies and recent in situ sampling have identified conspicuous
phytoplankton blooms during spring and summer along the Patagonia shelf-break front. The …

This work presents a novel GA-SA approach to retrieve the constituents of water bodies from
remote sensing of ocean color. This approach is validated and compared to the existing …

The spectral reflectance of the sea surface recorded using ocean colour satellite sensors
has been used to estimate chlorophyll-a concentrations for decades. However, in bio …

Accurate estimates of primary production from satellite-derived data on both regional and
global scales are one of the most important goals of international ocean color remote …
