Satellite ocean color measurementsThe application of pattern recognition to ocean color data analysis is considered. Due to weight, cost, and data transmission rate limitations, any mapping type remote sensor of ocean color must necessarily collect light from the sea in a finite number of channels. The optical properties of the sea are discussed together with the remote sensing of ocean color, an optical model of natural water, the microscopic optical model, the macroscopic optical model, multiple scattering theory, measurements of subsurface oceanographic parameters, measurements of bulk absorption and scattering properties, measurements of the up- and down-welling light field, and the techniques for ocean color data analysis.
