Current satellite-based estimates of primary production
A) Do not require ground-based validation
B) Are hampered by a lack of a detector in the proper wave length range
C) Apply only to measures in the Pacific, where cloud cover is minimal
D) Must be calibrated by surface validation in local areas of the ocean

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Satellite-based estimates of primary production must be calibrated by surface validation in local areas of the ocean to ensure their accuracy and reliability. This calibration is necessary to account for the complexities of oceanic ecosystems and the limitations of satellite sensors.
