A team of ocean optics experts, led by Plymouth Marine Laboratory, has evaluated the accuracy of above-water optical sensors, using a community-developed processor, to produce the highest-quality data ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An image of the northern Gulf of Mexico created from remote-sensing reflectance and chlorophyll measurements taken from newly ...

Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking method (CSAC) to harmonize satellite ocean color data across various satellites, which paved the way for the generation of reliable, global-scale, long-term, ...

A new study analyzing 20 years of data has found that our oceans have changed color, indicating a significant shift in marine ecosystems that is likely due to human-caused climate change. For decades, ...

Sunglint occurs when sunlight reflects off the ocean at the same angle satellites observe it, producing mirror-like images ...

Scientists analyzing satellite data on ocean color are gaining new insights into ocean productivity and climate. A green ocean is a productive ocean; the light from the sun fuels the “bloom” of ...

To track the changes in ocean color, scientists analyzed measurements of ocean color taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Aqua satellite, which has been ...

A green ocean is a productive ocean; the light from the sun helps the phytoplankton — tiny ocean plants — to be productive. This production in turn drives ocean food webs. New research, published in ...

The color of the ocean has changed significantly over the last 20 years and human-caused climate change is likely responsible, according to a new study.Video above: Study shows climate change is ...

Ocean color measurements reveal a wealth of ecologically important characteristics including: chlorophyll concentration, the rate of phytoplankton photosynthesis, sediment transport, dispersion of ...
