Abstract About ten CZCS scenes were atmospherically corrected to investigate chlorophyll-like pigment concentration levels around Japan. In this paper, “chlorophyll-like pigment” means chlorophyll-a and phaeophytin-a pigments. Three of the images were compared to ship-sampled data which were obtained within 5 days from satellite overpasses, showing fairly good agreement with the pigment range of 0.1 to 5μg/l. Highly reflective patterns were observed in a late spring scene, suspected to be due to abundance of coccolithophorids which are algae with calcium carbonate shell. Some problems in processing CZCS data in Japanese area are also discussed.
