Abstract: | Remote sensing of ocean colour yields information on the constituents of sea water, such as the concentration of phytoplankton
pigments, suspended sediments and yellow substances. It is well understood that the study of ocean colour is significantly
related with the primary production and zonation of potential fishing sites in coastal and oceanic waters. The major pigment
constituent is predominated by chlorophyll-a (ocean colour pigment of phytoplankton). The chlorophyll mapping on regular basis
plays a major role in assessing water quality and classifying different water types. IRS P-3 MOS-B satellite data for three
consecutive passes of path 94, during the period of January-February 1997 have been used to derive chlorophyll-a concentration.
The present study emphasizes on the chlorophyll mapping using IRS-P3 MOS-B data for the coastal and offshore water of Maharashtra
coast, India. |
