Spaceborne Lidar in the Study of Marine Systems. [PDF]
Ann Rev Mar Sci, 2018 Satellite passive ocean color instruments have provided an unbroken ∼20-year record of global ocean plankton properties, but this measurement approach has inherent limitations in terms of spatial-temporal sampling and ability to resolve vertical structure within the water column.
