Spatial Distribution of Primary Production off Sanriku, Northwestern Pacific, during Spring Estimated by Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner (OCTS)

摘要

An algorithm to estimate primary production by chlorophyll a and sea surface tem- perature from satellite was evaluated with primary production data from the Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner (OCTS) Sanriku field campaign. The algorithm was Applied to the data of OCTS on the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS) off Sanriku, North Pacific, on April 26, 1997. The wavelength-, time-, and depth-resolved Model reasonably estimated the chlorophyll-specific primary production of each depth And water column integrated primary production.
