Algorithmic procedure for retrieving calorific contents of marine phytoplankton from space

Microscopic marine phytoplankton are crucial for the survival of marine animals and sustainability of marine food webs. Developing our capability to estimate and monitor the calorific value of marine phytoplankton in the global ocean is, therefore, invaluable. Using satellite remote-sensing, Roy (20...
