  1. Ocean color provides bio-optical anomalies which inform us on: - possible phytoplankton assemblages (e.g., PHYSAT dominant types) - patchiness in phytoplanktonic communities Information on patchiness can be used to observe from space biophysical processes and ecological hotspots and to validate circulation models PHYSAT+altimetry: Fluid dynamical niches d'Ovidio et al. PNAS 2010 PHYSAT and mixing: Putative hotspot of biodiversity De Monte et al. ISME J. 2013 These phenomena occur in large part at the (sub-)mesoscale, where ocean color data are currently heavily affected by cloud coverage.
