Abstract :
Method of satellite data correction, adjusting the standard atmospheric correction, is considered. Marine phytoplankton pigment concentrations were retrieved from SeaWiFS data using the correction proposed. Maps of chlorophyll distribution in region of Crimean South Coast were plotted, showing best correlation with biological data than when using standard methods.
