Abstract The 2017–2027 National Academies' Decadal Survey, Thriving on Our Changing
Planet, recommended Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) as a “Designated Targeted …

Knowledge of the size‐and composition‐dependent production flux of primary sea spray
aerosol (SSA) particles and its dependence on environmental variables is required for …

A new empirical algorithm is proposed to estimate surface chlorophyll a (Chl) concentrations
in the global ocean for Chl≤ 0.25 mg m− 3 (∼ 78% of the global ocean area). The algorithm …

Spectral radiances measured at the top of the atmosphere in a wide spectral range (0.55–
2.13 μm) are used to monitor the aerosol optical thickness and the aerosol size distribution …

Sensors that can be used for the observation of ocean color in NASA's Earth Observing
System era (SeaWiFS, MODIS, and MISR) have been designed with 2–4 times the …

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) will add a significant new
capability for investigating the 70% of the Earth's surface that is covered by oceans, in …

Waterline extraction is potentially one of the most effective satellite remote sensing tools for
studying changes in tidal flat environment and coastlines. However, its application to the …

The launch of ADEOS in August 1996 with POLDER, TOMS, and OCTS instruments on
board and the future launch of EOS‐AM 1 in mid‐1998 with MODIS and MISR instruments …

The assumption that values of water-leaving radiance in the near-infrared (NIR) are
negligible enable aerosol radiative properties to be easily determined in the correction of …

The significance of light backscattering in the ocean is wide ranging, especially in optical
remote sensing. However, the complexity of natural seawater as an optical medium often …
