Satellite Ocean Colour: Current Status and Future Perspective [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Spectrally resolved water-leaving radiances (ocean colour) and inferred chlorophyll concentration are key to studying phytoplankton dynamics at seasonal and inter-annual scales, for a better understanding of the role of phytoplankton in marine ...

An Ocean-Colour Time Series for Use in Climate Studies: The Experience of the Ocean-Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC-CCI) [PDF]
Sensors, 2019 Ocean colour is recognised as an Essential Climate Variable (ECV) by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS); and spectrally-resolved water-leaving radiances (or remote-sensing reflectances) in the visible domain, and chlorophyll-a concentration are ...

Mediterranean Ocean Colour Chlorophyll Trends. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In being at the base of the marine food web, phytoplankton is particularly important for marine ecosystem functioning (e.g., biodiversity). Strong anthropization, over-exploitation of natural resources, and climate change affect the natural amount of ...

Ocean colour signature of climate change [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Changes in chlorophyll-a are used as an indirect proxy for monitoring global changes in marine phytoplankton. Here the authors show that remote sensing reflectance (R RS), such as the ratio of upwelling versus downwelling light at the ocean’s surface ...

Trends in ocean colour and chlorophyll concentration from 1889 to 2000, worldwide. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Marine primary productivity is an important agent in the global cycling of carbon dioxide, a major 'greenhouse gas', and variations in the concentration of the ocean's phytoplankton biomass can therefore explain trends in the global carbon budget.

Comparison of ocean-colour algorithms for particulate organic carbon in global ocean
Frontiers in Marine ScienceIn the oceanic surface layer, particulate organic carbon (POC) constitutes the biggest pool of particulate material of biological origin, encompassing phytoplankton, zooplankton, bacteria, and organic detritus.

Assimilating synthetic Biogeochemical-Argo and ocean colour observations into a global ocean model to inform observing system design [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2021 A set of observing system simulation experiments was performed. This assessed the impact on global ocean biogeochemical reanalyses of assimilating chlorophyll from remotely sensed ocean colour and in situ observations of chlorophyll, nitrate, oxygen, and

Algorithmic procedure for retrieving calorific contents of marine phytoplankton from space
MethodsX, 2021 Microscopic marine phytoplankton are crucial for the survival of marine animals and sustainability of marine food webs. Developing our capability to estimate and monitor the calorific value of marine phytoplankton in the global ocean is, therefore ...
