Abstract

The method of chlorophyll concentration calculation using remote sensed ocean reflectance is proposed. This method can take into account the regional features of investigated basin, so it allows to avoid some errors caused by standard methods application. Phytoplankton pigment concentrations were retrieved from satellite and contact data using the method proposed, showing good correlation with biological data. Pigment absorption spectra were also calculated, providing information about not only chlorophyll, but many auxiliary phytoplankton pigments.
