  • Abstract
    Large improvements in coverage frequency (daily to four-day) can be expected by combining ocean color data from the Sea-Viewing Wide Field Of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) missions. Results indicated 40-47% increases in global coverage over SeaWiFS alone in one day and >100% in low latitudes. The missions are highly complementary for observation of short-term processes
