Abstract/Summary:
Remote sensing has become important in the ocean sciences, especially for research involving large spatial scales. To estimate the in-water constituents through remote sensing, whether carried out by satellite or airplane, the signal emitted from beneath the sea surface, the so-called water-leaving radiance (;In this work, a model is developed to interpret ;Simple mathematical simulations for the phytoplankton pigment absorption coefficient (;In the remote-sensing applications, a new approach is suggested for the estimation of primary production based on remote sensing. Using this approach, the calculated primary production (PP) values based upon remotely sensed data were very close to the measured values for the euphotic zone (r...
