Validation of the 3D biogeochemical model MIRO&CO with field nutrient and phytoplankton data and MERIS-derived surface chlorophyll a images
TLDR
In this article, the accuracy of the simulated phytoplankton spatial distribution is further evaluated by comparing simulated surface chlorophyll a with that derived from the satellite sensor MERIS for the year 2003.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Calibration and validation of a generic multisensor algorithm for mapping of total suspended matter in turbid waters
B. Nechad,K.G. Ruddick,Y. Park +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a TSM algorithm is developed for turbid waters, suitable for any ocean colour sensor including MERIS, MODIS and SeaWiFS. But it does not consider the effect of bidirectional effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
A three-component model of phytoplankton size class for the Atlantic Ocean
Robert J. W. Brewin,Shubha Sathyendranath,Takafumi Hirata,Samantha Lavender,Rosa Barciela,Nick J. Hardman-Mountford +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-component model is developed which calculates the fractional contributions of three phytoplankton size classes (micro-, nano- and picoplankton) to the overall chlorophyll-a concentration in the Atlantic Ocean.

TL;DR: In this paper, a global mass balance model of the biologically active part of the modern Si cycle is derived on the basis of a systematic review of existing data regarding terrestrial and oceanic production fluxes, reservoir sizes, and residence times for dissolved silicate (DSi) and bSiO(2).
Journal ArticleDOI
Annual cycles of chlorophyll- a , non-algal suspended particulate matter, and turbidity observed from space and in-situ in coastal waters
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the satellite turbidity from chlorophyll and non-algal suspended particulate matter (SPM) with a common formula applied to in-situ or satellite observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a better assessment of the ecological status of coastal waters using satellite-derived chlorophyll-a concentrations
Francis Gohin,Bertrand Saulquin,Helene Oger-Jeanneret,Loic Lozac'h,Luis Lampert,Alain Lefebvre,Philippe Riou,Franck Bruchon +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the capacity of ocean colour imagery to complete the conventional in situ data set collected in coastal networks is evaluated for the application of the new Water Framework Directive (WFD) near the coast.

Optical modeling of the upper ocean in relation to its biogenous matter content (case I waters)
TL;DR: In this paper, a pigment-dependent optical model is developed to predict the propagation of visible radiant energy within the ocean or the backscattered radiation from the upper layer to be predicted as a function of the local phytoplanktonic content.
Journal ArticleDOI
The European regional seas ecosystem model, a complex marine ecosystem model
TL;DR: The EERSEM model dynamically simulates the biogeochemical seasonal cycling of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and silicon in the pelagic and benthic food webs of the North Sea, and is forced by irradiance, temperature and transport processes.

Phaeocystis blooms and nutrient enrichment in the continental coastal zones of the North sea
Christiane Lancelot,Gilles Billen,A. Sournia,Thomas Weisse,Franciscus Colijn,Marcel J.W. Veldhuis,A. Davies,Paul Wassmann +7 more
TL;DR: For example, during the second half of June, Dutch and German beaches were covered with a massive layer, up to 2 m thick, of the alga Phaeocystis pouchetii as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phaeocystis blooms and eutrophication of the continental coastal zones of the North Sea
TL;DR: It is suggested that novel nuisance algal blooms can result from major shifts in N/P or NH4+/NO3- ratios and that colony-formingPhaeocystic blooms may be restricted to those N-controlled environments where nitrate is consumed by Phaeocystis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural network for emulation of an inverse model: operational derivation of Case II water properties from MERIS data
Helmut Schiller,Roland Doerffer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an algorithm was developed to derive the concentrations of phytoplankton pigment, suspended matter and gelbstoff, and the aerosol path radiance from 'Rayleigh corrected' top-of-atmosphere reflectances over turbid coastal waters.
