TL;DR: A synopsis of the current state of the art in the retrieval of core optical properties from satellite ocean color is presented and recommendations for future investment for upcoming missions whose instrument characteristics diverge sufficiently from heritage and existing sensors to warrant reassessing current approaches are made.

TL;DR: The 2017-2027 National Academies' Decadal Survey, Thriving on Our Changing Planet, recommended Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) as a "designated targeted observable" (DO) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed a regional carbon budget for Eastern North America using historical data, empirical models, remote-sensing algorithms, and process-based models, showing that coastal carbon budgets should explicitly include tidal wetlands, estuaries, shelf waters and the linkages between them; ignoring any of them may produce a biased picture of coastal carbon cycling.

TL;DR: The role of tidal marshes as a source of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) for adjacent estuarine waters was studied in the Rhode River subestuary of the Chesapeake Bay.

TL;DR: This Review assesses existing coastal monitoring networks and regional models, existing challenges in these efforts, and recommend a path towards development of global models that more robustly reflect the coastal interface.
