The Sorcerer II Global Ocean Sampling Expedition: Northwest Atlantic through Eastern Tropical Pacific

TL;DR: A metagenomic study of the marine planktonic microbiota in which surface (mostly marine) water samples were analyzed as part of the Sorcerer II Global Ocean Sampling expedition, which yielded an extensive dataset consisting of 7.7 million sequencing reads.
Journal ArticleDOI

An estimate of global primary production in the ocean from satellite radiometer data

TL;DR: In this paper, an estimate of global net primary production in the ocean has been computed from the monthly mean near-surface chlorophyll fields for 1979-1986 obtained by the Nimbus 7 CZCS radiometer.
Journal ArticleDOI

An optical classification of coastal and oceanic waters based on the specific spectral absorption curves of phytoplankton pigments, dissolved organic matter, and other particulate materials1

TL;DR: Results show that, though the spectral form of absorption by pigments can be considered as more or less invariant, the absorption “efficiency” per unit C depends on the nature of the water, and hence on the type of phytoplankton population considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oceanic Primary Production: Estimation by Remote Sensing at Local and Regional Scales

TL;DR: An algorithm is proposed that combines a spectral and angular model of submarine light with a model of the spectral response of algal photosynthesis to apply at large horizontal scale and a dynamic biogeography is needed for the physiological rate parameters and the biological structure of the water column.
