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 chlorophyll-a. In the context of climate change, a major application of the results has been in the modelling of prima

Empirical airborne remote-sensing relationships were examined to estimate chlorophyll a concentration in the first optical depth (chl FOD ) of coastal waters of Afgonak/Kodiak Islands during July -August 2002. Band-ratio and spectral-curvature models were tested using satellite remotesensing reflect
We investigate the accuracy with which relevant atmospheric parameters must be estimated to derive phytoplankton pigment concentrations (chlorophyll a plus phaeophytin a) of a given accuracy from measurements of the ocean's apparent spectral radiance at satellite altitudes. The analysis is limited t
