DETECTION OF INTENSE PLANKTON BLOOMS USING THE MERIS OPTICAL IMAGER ON ENVISAT

The European satellite sensor MERIS (Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) can be used to detect a peak in the optical spectrum of water-leaving radiance at about 705 nm which provides a signature of intense plankton blooms. We present examples of this signature in images and spectra derived from...
