From orbit, some of the most remote corners of the ocean are suddenly lighting up in surreal shades of turquoise, lime, and ...

Remote sensing of ocean color is a currently well-established science that provides information about water composition and the depth of light penetration based on the ocean color, as seen from space.

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 five-day training programme on ‘Ocean Colour Remote Sensing for Fisheries and Climatic Science Research’ began at the Department of Chemical Oceanography of the Cochin University of Science and ...

Optical remote sensing technologies provide the ability to monitor short- and long-term changes in coral reefs, deep-sea fisheries, and off-shore oilfields, and to supply real-time information about ...

We take for granted that the sky is blue, leaves are green, and the ocean is kind of blue-green, but scientists warn that some of those things won’t stay the same for long. As the Earth’s climate ...

The ocean is blue because water absorbs colors in the red part of the light spectrum. Like a filter, this leaves behind colors in the blue part of the light spectrum for us to see. When sunlight hits ...

Probably the most dominant oceanographic feature of the western North Atlantic Ocean is the Gulf Stream. The northern edge of that current is clearly visible in the chlorophyll field measured by ...
