TL;DR: In this article, the potential of using the near-surface chlorophyll a concentration (Chla) as it can be derived from ocean color observation, to infer the column-integrated phytoplankton biomass, its vertical distribution, and ultimately the community composition.

TL;DR: The effort to resolve data quality issues and improve on the initial data evaluation methodologies of the SeaWiFS Project was an extensive one as discussed by the authors, which resulted, to date, in three major reprocessings of the entire data set where each reprocessing addressed the data quality issue that could be identified up to the time of the reproprocessing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present protocols for measuring bio-optical and radiometric data for the SIMBIOS Project, which is organized into four parts: Introductory Background, Instrument Characteristics, Field Measurements and Data Analysis, Data Reporting and Archival.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a procedure for establishing a coherency of open ocean (Case-1 waters) data products, for which the various data processing methods are sufficiently similar.

TL;DR: This article summarizes the key activities and approaches the SeaWiFS Project Office pursued to define, achieve, and maintain the mission objectives and presents some examples of major geophysical events captured by Sea WiFS.
