Titre: Ocean color remote sensing.

Résumé:
The objective of ocean color remote sensing is to retrieve the values of 
certain geophysical parameters, either atmospheric or oceanic, from satelite
measurements of the upwelling radiation field. These include the phytoplankton 
type and concentration, sediments, yellow substances, aerosol type and 
vertical distribution, for instance. The subject therefore refers to a 
variety of inverse problems.

In this talk, we present some statistical methodologies adapted to these 
problems.

This is a joint work with Robert Frouin (Scripps Institution of Oceanography, 
UC San Diego).
