Phytoplankton composition from sPACE: Requirements, opportunities, and challenges

40 Ocean color satellites have provided a synoptic view of global phytoplankton for over 25 years 41 through surface measurements of the concentration of chlorophyll a. While remote sensing of 42 ocean color has revolutionized our understanding of phytoplankton and their role in the oceanic 43 and freshwater ecosystems, it is important to consider both total phytoplankton biomass and 44 changes in phytoplankton community composition in order to fully understand the dynamics of 45 the aquatic ecosystems. With the upcoming launch of NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Clouds, ocean 46
