Abstract
The Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) was designed to measure ocean colour, the spectral variation of water-leaving radiance that can be related to the concentrations of phytoplankton pigments, coloured dissolved organic material and suspended particulate matter. The Dundee Satellite Receiving Station records and archives 1-km imagery covering the European shelf-seas, north-east Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, which is subsequently processed in near-real time by Plymouth Marine Laboratory using SeaWiFS Automatic Processing System (SeaAPS). SeaWiFS imagery is combined with contemporary Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sea surface temperature data to provide products, supplied via the World Wide Web, that are used within many areas of oceanographic research.Keywords
