    • Why Ocean Colour? The Societal Benefits of Ocean-Colour Technology. 

      IOCCG (International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2008)
      The concentration of chlorophyll in the ocean (or in fresh water) is an index of phytoplankton biomass, and is an important property that can be monitored through ocean colour radiometry (OCR) by Earth-orbiting spacecraft. ...

    • Remote Sensing of Inherent Optical Properties: Fundamentals, Tests of Algorithms, and Applications. 

      Lee, Zhong-Ping; IOCCG (International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2006)
      Variations in inherent optical properties (IOPs), i.e., the scattering and absorption characteristics of water and its constituents (the dissolved and suspended material) are clear indications of changes in water mass or ...

    • Atmospheric Correction for Remotely-Sensed Ocean-Colour. 

      Wang, Menghua; IOCCG (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 ...

    • Remote sensing of ocean colour in coastal, and other optically-complex, waters. 

      Sathyendranath, Shubha; IOCCG (International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2000)
      As we understand more about the optical properties of aquatic substances and their influences on ocean colour, it became possible to envisage the use of ocean-colour data to retrieve information on substances other than ...

    • Status and plans for satellite ocean-colour missions: considerations for complementary missions. 

      Yoder, James A.; IOCCG (International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 1999)
      This report explains the utility of ocean colour data, summarizes technical requirements for global-scale, operational and scientific remote sensing of ocean colour in both Case 1 (open-ocean) and Case 2 (coastal) waters ...

    • Minimum Requirements for an Operational, Ocean-Colour Sensor for the Open Ocean. 

      Morel, André; IOCCG (International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth,NS, Canada, 1998)
      With the advent of increasingly-sophisticated satellite ocean-colour sensors in the late 1990’s, with better radiometric performances and in increased number of spectral channels, an IOCCG working group was formed to ...

    • Guide to the Creation and Use of Ocean-Colour, Level-3, Binned Data Products. 

      Antoine, David; IOCCG (International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2004)
      One of the goals of launching a number of ocean-colour sensors aboard various satellites is to build a long-term, multi-sensor, multi-year, ocean-colour archive. The derived chlorophyll concentrations (in time and space) ...
