MULTISPECTRAL TRACKING OF PHYTOPLANKTON IN THE COLOMBIAN CARIBBEAN

In a quantitative research study, the concentration and circulation of group of micro-organisms "phytoplankton" have been found trough the images of the ocean colour in the Colombian Caribbean Sea. These images have been observed trough the Sea Star satellite. The method logical procedure...
