    • Bio-Optical Sensors on Argo Floats. 

      Claustre, Herve; IOCCG (International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2011)
      Biogeochemical processes at the ocean surface have begun to be documented on unprecedented spatial and temporal scales thanks to the advent of satellite ocean-colour radiometry (OCR). These observation techniques have ...
    • In-flight Calibration of Satellite Ocean-Colour Sensors. 

      Frouin, Robert; IOCCG (International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2013)
      Accurate radiometric calibration of space borne ocean-colour sensors is essential for retrieving geophysical variables (concentration of water constituents, inherent optical properties, aerosol content, etc.) quantitatively ...
    • Minimum Requirements for an Operational, Ocean-Colour Sensor for the Open Ocean. 

      Morel, André; IOCCG (International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth,NS, Canada, 1998)
      With the advent of increasingly-sophisticated satellite ocean-colour sensors in the late 1990’s, with better radiometric performances and in increased number of spectral channels, an IOCCG working group was formed to ...
    • Mission Requirements for Future Ocean-Colour Sensors. 

      McClain, Charles R.; Meister, Gerhard; IOCCG (International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2012)
      With the proliferation of complex and sophisticated ocean colour sensors now on orbit or planned for launch, this report seeks to establish the minimum basic radiometric and sensor requirements for global observations of ...
    • Ocean Colour Remote Sensing in Polar Seas. 

      Babin, Marcel; Arrigo, Kevin; Bélanger, Simon; Forget, Marie-Helene; IOCCG (International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2015)
      Accelerating climate change calls for a vastly improved understanding of the polar ecosystems based on an intensive observation program. In situ observations from ships are, however, inherently sparse in space and time, ...
    • Ocean-Colour Observations from a Geostationary Orbit. 

      Antoine, David; IOCCG (International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2012)
      Coastal zone monitoring requires dedicated, high spatial, high frequency coverage by satellite ocean colour sensors, rather than once per day global coverage, as provided by most current ocean colour missions. Observing ...
    • Status and plans for satellite ocean-colour missions: considerations for complementary missions. 

      Yoder, James A.; IOCCG (International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 1999)
      This report explains the utility of ocean colour data, summarizes technical requirements for global-scale, operational and scientific remote sensing of ocean colour in both Case 1 (open-ocean) and Case 2 (coastal) waters ...
