Sunglint occurs when sunlight reflects off the ocean at the same angle satellites observe it, producing mirror-like images while affecting ocean color measurements.

Coral reefs form a vital part of the marine ecosystem, playing host to diverse species and supporting multiple industries, including fisheries, tourism, and recreation. However, these fragile ...

Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking method (CSAC) to harmonize satellite ocean color data across various satellites, which paved the way for the generation of reliable, global-scale, long-term, ...
