Synoptic relationships between surface Chlorophyll- a and diagnostic pigments specific to phytoplankton functional types
Takafumi Hirata,Nick J. Hardman-Mountford,Robert J. W. Brewin,Robert J. W. Brewin,Jim Aiken,Ray Barlow,Koji Suzuki,Tomonori Isada,Evan A. Howell,Taketo Hashioka,M. Noguchi-Aita,M. Noguchi-Aita,Yasuhiro Yamanaka,Yasuhiro Yamanaka +13 more
TL;DR: Error-quantified, synoptic-scale relationships between chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and phytoplankton pigment groups at the sea surface are presented to show that a community shift of phy toplankon at the basin and global scales is reflected by a change in Chl- a of the total community.
Journal ArticleDOI
A three-component model of phytoplankton size class for the Atlantic Ocean
Robert J. W. Brewin,Shubha Sathyendranath,Takafumi Hirata,Samantha Lavender,Rosa Barciela,Nick J. Hardman-Mountford +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-component model is developed which calculates the fractional contributions of three phytoplankton size classes (micro-, nano- and picoplankton) to the overall chlorophyll-a concentration in the Atlantic Ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remote sensing the phytoplankton seasonal succession of the Red Sea.
Dionysios E. Raitsos,Yaswant Pradhan,Robert J. W. Brewin,Georgiy L. Stenchikov,Ibrahim Hoteit +4 more
TL;DR: Analysis of a 10-year high resolution Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) dataset, along with remotely-sensed sea surface temperature and wind, provided a detailed description of the spatiotemporal seasonal succession of phytoplankton biomass in the Red Sea.
Journal ArticleDOI
An ocean-colour time series for use in climate studies: The experience of the ocean-colour climate change initiative (OC-CCI)

Brewin,Carsten Brockmann,Vanda Brotas,Ben Calton,Andrei Chuprin,Paolo Cipollini,André Belo Couto,James Dingle,Roland Doerffer,Craig Donlon,Mark Dowell,Alex Farman,Mike Grant,Steve Groom,Andrew Horseman,Thomas Jackson,Hajo Krasemann,Samantha Lavender,Victor Martinez-Vicente,Constant Mazeran,Frédéric Mélin,Timothy S.

TL;DR: This paper outlines an approach that was adopted for generating an ocean-colour time series for climate studies, using data from the MERIS (MEdium spectral Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) sensor of the European Space Agency; the SeaWiFS (Sea-viewing Wide-Field-of-view Sensor) and MODIS-Aqua (Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer- aqua) sensors from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (USA); and VIIRS
Journal ArticleDOI
Penetration of UV-visible solar radiation in the global oceans: Insights from ocean color remote sensing
Zhongping Lee,Chuanmin Hu,Shaoling Shang,Keping Du,Marlon R. Lewis,Robert Arnone,Robert J. W. Brewin +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the JPSS VIIRS-V1 satellite to study the effect of solar radiation on the Earth's magnetic field on the performance of the Earth satellite.
