Ocean-Colour Observations from a Geostationary Orbit.
(International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2012)
Coastal zone monitoring requires dedicated, high spatial, high frequency coverage by satellite ocean colour sensors, rather than once per day global coverage, as provided by most current ocean colour missions. Observing ...
Bio-Optical Sensors on Argo Floats.
(International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2011)
Biogeochemical processes at the ocean surface have begun to be documented on unprecedented spatial and temporal scales thanks to the advent of satellite ocean-colour radiometry (OCR). These observation techniques have ...
Mission Requirements for Future Ocean-Colour Sensors.
(International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2012)
With the proliferation of complex and sophisticated ocean colour sensors now on orbit or planned for launch, this report seeks to establish the minimum basic radiometric and sensor requirements for global observations of ...
Atmospheric Correction for Remotely-Sensed Ocean-Colour.
(International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2010)
Atmospheric correction is a key procedure in remote sensing of ocean colour. This report provides an overview of the various atmospheric correction algorithms used for global ocean-colour data processing, and quantifies ...
Earth Observations in Support of Global Water Quality.
(International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2018)
Declining coastal, estuarine and inland water quality has become a global issue of significant concern as anthropogenic activities expand and climate change threatens to cause major alterations to the hydrological cycle. ...
Ocean Colour Remote Sensing in Polar Seas.
(International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2015)
Accelerating climate change calls for a vastly improved understanding of the polar ecosystems based on an intensive observation program. In situ observations from ships are, however, inherently sparse in space and time, ...
In-flight Calibration of Satellite Ocean-Colour Sensors.
(International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2013)
Accurate radiometric calibration of space borne ocean-colour sensors is essential for retrieving geophysical variables (concentration of water constituents, inherent optical properties, aerosol content, etc.) quantitatively ...
Phytoplankton Functional Types from Space.
(International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2014)
The concept of phytoplankton functional types has emerged as a useful approach to classifying phytoplankton and can be used to obtain a better understanding of ecological and biogeochemical processes. Recent developments ...
