Validation of standard and alternative satellite ocean-color chlorophyll produc...
Sá, Carolina; D'Alimonte, D.; C. Brito, Ana; Kajiyama, T.; Mendes, C.R.; Vitorino, J.; Oliveira, P.B.; da Silva, J.C.B.; Brotas, VandaChlorophyll a concentration (Chl) product validation off the Western Iberian coast is here undertaken by directly comparing remote sensing data with in situ surface reference values. Both standard and recently developed alternative algorithms are considered for match-up data analysis. The investigated standard products are those produced by the MERIS (algal 1 and algal 2) and MODIS (OC3M) algorithms. The altern...
Reprint of: Chlorophyll enhancement in the central region of the Bay of Biscay ...
Muacho, S.; da Silva, J.C.B.; Brotas, Vanda; Oliveira, P.B.; Magalhaes, J.M.A multi-sensor satellite approach based on ocean colour, sunglint and Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery is used to study the impact of interacting internal tidal (IT) waves on near-surface chlorophyll-a distribution, in the central Bay of Biscay. Satellite imagery was initially used to characterize the internal solitary wave (ISW) field in the study area, where the “local generation mechanism” was found to be as...
