Ocean color sensors measure the spectral distribution of reflected sunlight, which can be used to infer the contents of the water, including chlorophyll a concentrations, a proxy for phytoplankton biomass. Phytoplankton are the base of the marine food web and are critical regulators of key biogeochemical processes. Primary productivity esimates are modeled using chlorophyll a, photosynthetic available radiation, and sea surface temperature.

Hyde, Kimberly (401) 782-3226 kimberly.hyde@noaa.gov processor The NASA software SeaDAS is used to generate Level 2 and daily binned files of chlorophyll (CHL) and PAR and the SST data are converted into the same binned map as the ocean color data. Hyde, Kimberly (401) 782-3226 kimberly.hyde@noaa.gov processor CHL and the Pathfinder SST data are temporally interpolated to reduce data gaps prior to being input into the primary productivity model.
