21 PROCESSING ALGORITHMS Based on Gordon et al. (1980) and Gordon et al. (1983) The algorithm used for estimating the pigments content of the ocean from CZCS measurements involves the use of radiance ratios. The general form of the equation is Where log(c) = a + b*log[lw(1)/lw(2)] C is the pigment concentration (mg/m^3) a,b are regression coefficients Lw(1),Lw(2) are the atmospherically corrected radiances for a pair of CZCS channels For CZCS pigments processing, these channel pairs are (443, 550 nm), for C < 1.5 mg/m^3 (520, 550 nm), for C > 1.5 mg/m^3 21

30 Global problems for ocean color remote sensing are also present in the Caribbean Better understanding of the temporal and spatial variability of inherent and apparent optical properties is needed. Site-specific bio-optical algorithms are required to better estimates the concentration of Chlorophyll-a and Suspended Sediments. CDOM and suspended sediments are seasonally produced by rivers discharge and their correlation controls the bio-optical variability. Photosynthetic picoplankton, like cyanobacteria, are competing with large phytoplankton for the quality and quantity of light. Current satellite sensors do not provide accurate estimates of water quality parameters in coastal areas due to all the above problems. But, three unique challenges for remote sensing are also found in Caribbean coastal waters 1. Size of the coastal regions-requires sensors with very high spatial resolution. 2. Low concentration of the parameters-requires sensors with very high S/N ratio. 3. Short-term effects of dramatic seasonal events, like hurricanes, on land-sea interactions-requires sensors with high temporal resolution. 30

31 PHYTOPLANKTON DYNAMICS AFFECTED BY LARGE REGIONAL RIVERS AS DETECTED BY SEAWIFS But, SeaWiFS images fail in coastal waters with local rivers 31

32 Low Chl for developing bio-optical algorithms (also the number of data points are limited) Reflectance ratio (R443/R550) y = x R 2 = Chlorophyll-a (ug/l) Low reflectance signal and no fluorescence peak 32
