Abstract In this study, we identify a seasonal bias in the ocean color satellite-derived remote sensing reflectances (${{\rm R}_{{\rm rs}}}(\lambda);\;{{\rm sr}^{- 1}}$) at the ocean color validation site, Marine Optical BuoY. The seasonal bias in ${{\rm R}_{{\rm rs}}}(\lambda)$ is present to varying degrees in all ocean color satellites examined, including the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite, Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor, and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer.
The NASA Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, Ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission, with a target launch within the next 5 years, aims to make measurements that will advance ocean and atmospheric science and facilitate interdisciplinary studies involving the interaction of the atmosphere with ocean biological systems.
Phytoplankton community composition in the ocean is complex and highly variable over a wide range of space and time scales. Able to cover these scales, remote-sensing reflectance spectra can be measured both by satellite and by in situ radiometers. The spectral shape of reflectance in the open ocean is influenced by the particles in the water, mainly phytoplankton and covarying nonalgal particles.
