Remote Assessment of Ocean Color for Interpretation of Satellite Visible Imagery: A Review

Gordon, Howard R., Morel, André Y.·1983·Lecture Notes on Coastal and Estuarine Studies

Abstract

An assessment is presented of the state-of-the-art of remote, (satellite-based) Coastal Zone Color (CZCS) Scanning of color variations in the ocean due to phytoplankton. Attention is given to physical problems associated with ocean color remote sensing, in-water algorithms for the correction of atmospheric effects, constituent retrieval algorithms and application of the algorithms to CZCS imagery. The applicability of CZCS to both near-coast and mid-ocean waters is considered, and it is concluded that while differences between the two environments are complex, universal algorithms can be used for the case of mid-ocean waters, and site-specific algorithms are adequate for CZCS imaging of the near-coast oceanic environment. A short description of CVCS and some sample photographs are provided in an appendix.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
