Sathyendranath et al. ([11]) present an overview of ocean color data principles and applications, and describe how ocean color technology's strength lies in its global coverage and capability to sample the ocean biota at various spatial and temporal scales, matching the scales of the processes acting. Observations made from space comprise a fundamental component of the global observing system, contributing to a better understanding of the Earth system as a whole and its evolution, including climate and global environmental changes, under both natural and anthropogenic forcing factors. Ecosystem-based fisheries management, ocean biogeochemical cycles, ecosystem health and climate change studies utilize these data. [Extracted from the article]
