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
Particulate Backscattering in the Global Ocean: A Comparison of Independent Assessments.
TL;DR: Lidar bbp is validated with autonomous biogeochemical Argo floats using a decorrelation analysis to identify relevant spatiotemporal matchup scales inspired by geographical variability in the Rossby radius of deformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal bias in global ocean color observations
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the aquatic bidirectional reflectance distribution function may in part cause the observed seasonal bias in the ocean color satellite-derived remote sensing reflectances (Rrs(λ);sr-1), and the contributions that atmospheric correction schemes can make in introducing biases in Rrs(κ) are highlighted.
