Global Retrieval of Diatom Abundance Based on Phytoplankton Pigments and Satellite Data

Global Retrieval of Diatom Abundance Based on Phytoplankton Pigments and Satellite Data

Diatoms are the major marine primary producers on the global scale and, recently, several methods have been developed to retrieve their abundance or dominance from satellite remote sensing data. In this work, we highlight the importance of the Southern Ocean (SO) in developing a global algorithm for...
