TL;DR: The third primary production algorithm round robin (PPARR3) as discussed by the authors compares output from 24 models that estimate depth-integrated primary production from satellite measurements of ocean color, as well as seven general circulation models (GCMs) coupled with ecosystem or biogeochemical models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocean Color Remote Sensing of Seagrass and Bathymetry in the Bahamas Banks by High-Resolution Airborne Imagery
Heidi M. Dierssen,Richard C. Zimmerman,Robert A. Leathers,T. Valerie Downes,Curtiss O. Davis +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanistic radiative transfer approach is developed that first removes the distorting influence of the water column on the remotely sensed signal to retrieve an estimate of the reflectance at the seafloor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glacial meltwater dynamics in coastal waters west of the Antarctic peninsula
TL;DR: Because air temperatures are statistically increasing along the Antarctic Peninsula region, the presence of glacial meltwater is likely to become more prevalent in these surface waters and continue to play an ever-increasing role in driving this fragile ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional to global assessments of phytoplankton dynamics from the SeaWiFS mission
David A. Siegel,Michael J. Behrenfeld,Stephanie Maritorena,Charles R. McClain,David Antoine,Sean W. Bailey,Paula S Bontempi,Emmanuel Boss,Heidi M. Dierssen,Scott C. Doney,Robert E. Eplee,Robert Evans,Gene C. Feldman,Erik Fields,Bryan A. Franz,Norman Kuring,Claudia Mengelt,Norman B. Nelson,Frederick S. Patt,Wayne D. Robinson,Jorge L. Sarmiento,Chantal M. Swan,P. J. Werdell,Toby K. Westberry,John G. Wilding,James Yoder +25 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-analytical bio-optical algorithm is used to help interpret regional to global SeaWiFS chlorophyll observations from using three independent, well-validated ocean color data products; the chilophyll a concentration, absorption by CDM and particulate backscattering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perspectives on empirical approaches for ocean color remote sensing of chlorophyll in a changing climate
TL;DR: For example, the most widely used empirical approach for estimating chlorophyll a (Chl) from satellites can be in error by a factor of 5 or more as discussed by the authors, due to differences in absorption and backscattering properties of phytoplankton and related concentrations of colored-dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and minerals.
