Abstract

A comparison was made between chlorophyll a from OSMI and SeaWiFS determined with the standard method during the NFRDI's research cruises. The simple algorithm for calibrating and validating of OSMI chlorophyll a as level 2 data in the East China Sea in specially winter season was made by relationship between the estimated chlorophyll a and the measured chlorophyll a in the field. We compared the distributions of OSMI chlorophyll a, sea surface temperature and zooplankton biomass, catch amounts of the Pacific mackerel in the East China Sea.
