A regional correction model for satellite surface chlorophyll concentrations, based on measurements from sea water samples collected around Iceland

Near-surface chlorophyll a concentration is a fundamental component of marine ecological processes, and its changes reflect the phytoplankton growth (primary productivity as well as loss due to grazing and sinking) feeding into higher trophic levels. Time series of measurements from several satellite sensors since late 1997 can be used as a proxy of chlorophyll a concentrations after calibrating against direct sea water measurements from...
