Since the pioneering work of Clarke et a1. (1970) it has been known
that chlorophyll a (or. more generally. pigments) contained in
phytoplankton in near-surface waters produced systematic variations
in the color of the ocean which could be observed from aircraft. As
a direct result of this work. NASA developed the Coastal Zone Color
Scanner (CZCS). which was launched on Nimbus-G (now Nimbus-7) in
October 1978. (A short description of the CZCS is provided in
Appendix I. ) Shortly before launch. at the IUCRM Colloquium on
Passive Radiometry of the Ocean (June 1978). a working group on
water color measurements was formed to assess water color remote
sensing at that time. A report (Morel and Gordon. 1980) was
prepared which summarized the state-of-the-art of the algorithms
for atmospheric correction. and phytoplankton pigment and seston
retrieval. and which included recommendations concerning the design
of next generation sensors. The water color session of the
COSPAR/SCOR/IUCRM Symposium 'Oceanography from Space' held in
Venice (May 1980. i. e ** in the post-launch period) provided the
opportunity for a reassessment of the state-of-the-art after having
gained some experience in the analysis of the initial CZCS imagery.
Such an assessment is the purpose of this review paper. which will
begin with an outline of the basic physics of water color remote
sensing and the fundamentals of atmospheric corrections. The
present state of the constituent retrieval and atmospheric
correction algorithms will then be critically assessed.
