We provide a comprehensive overview of water constituent retrieval algorithms and
underlying definitions and models for optically deep and complex (ie case 2) waters using …

Abstract Ocean Water Quality (OWQ) monitoring provides insights into the quality of water in
marine and near-shore environments. OWQ measurements can contain the physical …

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 …

For open ocean and coastal waters, a multiband quasi-analytical algorithm is developed to
retrieve absorption and backscattering coefficients, as well as absorption coefficients of …

Semianalytical (SA) ocean color models have advantages over conventional band ratio
algorithms in that multiple ocean properties can be retrieved simultaneously from a single …

It is now widely accepted that global warming is occurring, yet its effects on the world's
largest ecosystem, the marine pelagic realm, are largely unknown. We show that sea …

A combination of new measurements and analysis of historical data from several geographic
regions was used to address four issues that affect the reliability and interpretation of …

Global satellite ocean color instruments provide the scientific community a high-resolution
means of studying the marine biosphere. Satellite data product validation and algorithm …

The paper describes the case 2 coastal water algorithm, which has been developed for the
ground processor of the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS). The …

After the successful Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS, 1978–1986) demonstration that
quantitative estimations of geophysical variables such as chlorophyll a and diffuse …
