Estimation of marine primary production by satellite remote sensing
Entry ID:
GLOBEC_061_UK_011
Summary
Abstract:
The main objective is to derive estimates of primary production from
satellite ovservations of ocean colour. Data will be available for oceanic and stratified shelf waters within months of the start and through research within the project, estimates will be produced for well-mixed areas in the Irish and North Seas. Production data will be appropriate for initialising and updating numerical models proposed within UK GLOBEC Marine Productivity and the development of times series of production. A secondary aim is to provide Sea Surface Temperature or chlorophyll-a data in near real time to support research vessel sampling. Archived imagery will enable study of spatio-temporal scales of surface biological and physical variability.
