The unique 300 m resolution of the ESA MERIS and ESA/Copernicus Sentinel 3 OLCI instruments give an view of the distribution of Chl-a and offer the unprecedented potential to estimate NPP within the main Galician rias and on the adjacent continental shelf. To our knowledge satellite derived estimation of NPP has never been attempted at this resolution. PRIMUS will contribute to fill this gap by generating and validating a “4DAtlantic Experimental Dataset” of EO-based Atlantic EBUS data, based on recent data from Sentinel-3. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645023aa55d90009d03eab/1641821952828-7DA8WBFRB91F11WPR59L/Screenshot%2B2022-01-10%2Bat%2B13.37.05.jpg Aims https://www.primus-atlantic.org/resources-affiliated-projects daily 0.75 2022-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645023aa55d90009d03eab/1635851552358-6KTGJHJZUWDY1MM3AF50/ESA_Logo.png Resources & Affiliated Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645023aa55d90009d03eab/1636051684835-B681C0UD1K5I4T8S0Z4V/DSC_0024_fullres.jpg Resources & Affiliated Projects https://www.primus-atlantic.org/background daily 0.75 2022-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645023aa55d90009d03eab/1635867977847-VT9AAA295WD89KHYROGA/Atlantic+EBUS.jpg Background - Make it stand out Here you get to see the distribution of the mean surface Chl-a concentrations in the Atlantic EBUS during May 2020: the Canary Current System, including the Iberian upwelling region (Galicia and the Portuguese coast) along the NE Atlantic, and the Benguela Current System along the SE Atlantic (image produced and downloaded from OCC ESA). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645023aa55d90009d03eab/1635529332348-4QE4SL5D57PTEAOW2YS3/Screenshot+2021-10-29+at+18.27.51.png Background - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645023aa55d90009d03eab/1636043280547-MYKL1ORLRRLRYJHSX1T1/Screenshot+2021-11-04+at+16.18.52.png Background - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645023aa55d90009d03eab/1635529759202-N7FG6HN243VPZ9Z3FRPE/Ocean+gyres_NOOA.jpeg Background - Make it stand out These are the five major oceanic subtropical gyres which are directly linked to the overlying anticyclonic wind systems: the North and South Atlantic Subtropical Gyres, the North and South Pacific Subtropical Gyres, and the Indian Ocean Subtropical Gyre (image from NOAA). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645023aa55d90009d03eab/1635533890135-97G8WBBRS1MC7IOPJBUJ/Screenshot+2021-10-29+at+19.57.50.png Background - Make it stand out Ekman transport in the Northern Hemisphere: longshore northerly winds combine with the Coriolis effect to force surface waters to move away from the coast while deeper, cooler and nutrient-rich waters upwell from beneath the thermocline to take their place (image: Merino & Monreal-Gómez, 2011). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645023aa55d90009d03eab/1641813071082-P6MI4737985NKHA7EEKS/Gemma.jpg Background - Make it stand out This is a map of the global annual primary production (PP) based on mean photosynthesis versus irradiance (P-I) parameters, for the period of 1998-2018 (image: Kulk et al., 2020). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645023aa55d90009d03eab/1635865864449-RQIDA5D15BF9R3CV3AU4/Sardine_Run_KZN.jpeg Background - Make it stand out As in other upwelling systems worldwide, sardines are amongst the most abundant fishes benefiting from highly productive upwelling conditions in the Canary and Benguela upwelling systems (Image credits here). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645023aa55d90009d03eab/1640092584489-XJQBIZF4LQRALNIWUIJZ/PRIMUS-4.jpg Background https://www.primus-atlantic.org/science-cases daily 0.75 2022-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645023aa55d90009d03eab/1635793259176-LDFOUZMDTGX5OS4U0YW1/Screenshot+2021-11-01+at+18.59.11.png Science Cases - Make it stand out Here are the different resolutions in Chl-a maps for the Portuguese and Galician upwelling as seen with a) OC CCI 4km monthly Sep 2019; b) OC CCI 4km daily 13 Sep 2019; c) OC CCI 1km daily 13 Sep 2019; d) Sentinel 3 OLCI full resolution (300m) 13 Sep 2019. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645023aa55d90009d03eab/1638448066613-URU2F6DH1UGKZ6RFH0NB/Lagrangian.jpg Science Cases - Make it stand out Above (a,b) is a cartoon describing how different particle trajectories are combined with satellite data.

(2021), based on daily 4 km ocean colour data from the ESA-OC-CCI. According to this study, highly heterogeneous blooms characterized by high-biomass tend to be stronger in late summer/early autumn, possibly triggered by nutrients supplied by upwelling and river discharge. It can also be seen from the figure that high resolution data would be useful close to the coast where there is strong variability due to the upwelling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645023aa55d90009d03eab/1641830879483-S6CVGHGIFX29L6SZT9P6/Figure_map_annual_mean_pp_occciv4-1_1998-2018_area_primus.jpg Science Cases https://www.primus-atlantic.org/primus-outputs daily 0.75 2024-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61645023aa55d90009d03eab/1640095024704-LV98BV8G9NA41Z0YR6XS/PRIMUS-5.jpg PRIMUS Outputs
