We derive the chlorophyll a concentration (Chla)for three main phytoplankton functional types (PFTs)-- diatoms, coccolithophores and cyanobacteria- by combining satellite multispectral-based information, being of a high spatial and temporal resolution, with retrievals based on high resolution of PFT...
