AbstractMapping of ocean colour, although often interrupted by clouds, provides the only quantitative indication of ocean biological production from space. Compared to other areas of remote sensing, the work is in an early stage of development, since only the first prototype sensor (the CZCS) has been flown on a satellite. Improved optical sensing techniques have been tested in aircraft, and suggest that important improvements are possible. Ocean optical sensing is at present in limbo, and must rely on sensors designed for land or clouds. However, good colour information is urgently needed for global environment and climate studies. In this paper, current international plans for the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), and its requirements for satellite data, are briefly reviewed. An example is presented of an improved passive optical sensing technique that may become available from future satellites.
