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, ...

Scientists analyzing satellite data on ocean color are gaining new insights into ocean productivity and climate. A green ocean is a productive ocean; the light from the sun fuels the “bloom” of ...

To track the changes in ocean color, scientists analyzed measurements of ocean color taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Aqua satellite, which has been ...

An image of the northern Gulf of Mexico created from remote-sensing reflectance and chlorophyll measurements taken from newly reprocessed VIIRS data. In a study published July 12 in the journal Nature ...

A new study analyzing 20 years of data has found that our oceans have changed color, indicating a significant shift in marine ecosystems that is likely due to human-caused climate change. For decades, ...

A green ocean is a productive ocean; the light from the sun helps the phytoplankton — tiny ocean plants — to be productive. This production in turn drives ocean food webs. New research, published in ...

Ocean color measurements reveal a wealth of ecologically important characteristics including: chlorophyll concentration, the rate of phytoplankton photosynthesis, sediment transport, dispersion of ...

Picture the vast expanse of ocean you've seen in postcards or vacation photos - that brilliant blue stretching endlessly toward the horizon. Yet something profound is happening beneath those familiar ...

The oceans of today look different from the oceans of 20 years ago, researchers found in a new study. Around 56% of the world's oceans have changed color, with the blue waters becoming greener over ...
