Mediterranean Ocean Colour Chlorophyll Trends
In being at the base of the marine food web, phytoplankton is particularly important for marine ecosystem functioning (e.g., biodiversity). Strong anthropization, over-exploitation of natural resources, and climate change affect the natural amount of phytoplankton and, therefore, represent a continuous threat to the biodiversity in marine waters. In particular, a concerning risks for coastal wa...
متن کاملModelling Ocean Colour Derived Chlorophyll-a
This article provides a proof-of-concept for using a biogeochemical/ecosystem/optical model with radiative transfer component as a laboratory to explore aspects of ocean colour. We focus here on the satellite ocean colour Chlorophyll-a (Chl10 a) product provided by the often-used blue/green reflectance ratio algorithm. The model produces output that can be compared directly to the real world oc...
متن کاملRevisiting empirical ocean-colour algorithms for remote estimation of chlorophyll-a content on a global scale
Remote-sensing data can be useful for investigating the bio-optical properties of the ocean. Among these bio-optical properties, chlorophyll-a content is of great importance. The standard NASA empirical ocean-colour (OC) algorithms are used widely to estimate global chlorophyll-a content. Despite their simplicity and effectiveness, these regression-based models have two shortcomings that we inv...
متن کاملThe Red Sea: Birth of an Ocean
Nowhere on the present-day Earth can the transition from a continental to an oceanic rift be observed and studied better than in the Red Sea region, where three rifts in different stages of evolution meet in a triple point located in the Afar region. A thermal and/or compositional mantle plume may have risen from the upper mantle below Afar already at *30 Ma, and may have triggered, at least in...
متن کاملThree improved satellite chlorophyll algorithms for the Southern Ocean
[1] Remote sensing of Southern Ocean chlorophyll concentrations is the most effective way to detect large-scale changes in phytoplankton biomass driven by seasonality and climate change. However, the current algorithms for the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS, algorithm OC4v6), the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS-Aqua, algorithm OC3M), and GlobColour significa...
