Aspects of satellite and subsatellite studies of chlorophyll-a in Arctic waters
Abstract Field studies of chlorophyll-a concentrations in high latitudes of Arctic waters (above 75° N) are limited due to the difficult ice conditions, while satellite studies are limited due to high clouds in the region. Full-scale data of chlorophyll concentration in the pelagial of the Barents S...

| Summary: | Abstract Field studies of chlorophyll-a concentrations in high latitudes of Arctic waters (above 75° N) are limited due to the difficult ice conditions, while satellite studies are limited due to high clouds in the region. Full-scale data of chlorophyll concentration in the pelagial of the Barents Sea for 2013-2019 were included in the database at ArcGIS 10 platform. Comparison and correlation analysis of full-scale and satellite data (open NASA databases) at the same points for the same dates were carried out. A general underestimation of the satellite concentrations of chlorophyll-a was revealed for most stations. Time coverage of +/- 3 days produced a significant error in the verification results. Within the 1-2-day difference, the percentage of deviations decreased, but the tendency to underestimate satellite concentrations in relation to in-situ values persisted. |
