Scientists have long used ocean color remote sensing to measure these particles in surface waters, and now, they will be able to reliably calculate concentrations of these particles through the water column. (sciencedaily.com)
Recent studies have shown that inverting such data allows for the potential of separating the retrieval of aerosol properties from ocean color monitoring in the visible part of the spectrum. (pubs.giss.nasa.gov)
Researchers can also examine the differences in ocean color between two different El Nino events. (sciencedaily.com)
