Monitoring Ocean Color From Deep Space: A TEMPO Study

The figure compares TEMPO observations of ocean colors with those from low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites: MODIS Aqua, VIIRS NOAA-20, NOAA-21 VIIRS, Sentinel 3A and Sentinel 3B OCLI. Panels (a-c) and (g-i) are TEMPO chlorofill and true color maps, (respectively). Panels (d-f) are chlorofill maps from instruments in LEO, and (j-l) are MODIS true color maps. Credit: Fasnacht et al.
