Tracking the SeaWiFS record with a coupled physical/biogeochemical/ radiative model of the global oceans, Deep-Sea Res.II
The Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) has observed multiple years of routine global chlorophyll observations from space. The mission was launched into a record El Ni *no event, which eventually gave way to one of the most intense and longest-lasting La Ni *na events ever recorded. The...
