DESCRIPTION:The marine primary producers are an important link between the
  ocean and global climate. It is important to monitor the dynamics and com
 munity diversity of the primary producers. The satellite-based remote-sens
 ing of ocean colour is proving to be extremely useful for the observation 
 of oceanic states.  I demonstrate how the remotely-sensed time series data
  on ocean colour\, coupled with relatively simple mathematical models capt
 uring the details of ecological interactions\, can be used to understand t
 he qualitative dynamics of marine phytoplankton\, and to estimate the stat
 e variables and certain key biological parameters related to marine primar
 y production. The qualitative dynamics and quantitative estimates retrieve
 d provide valuable information about the ecological indicators of the mari
 ne ecosystem in a changing environment.
