We will focus on the following studies of application of mainly OCTS/GLI products.

(1) Study on variability of primary productivity of the Bering Sea and the Chuckchi Sea with consideration on year-to-year variability of ice distribution

(2) Study on variability of primary productivity of Alaskan gyre region(Northeastern North Pacific), and its relation to the primary production in the Bering Sea.

(3) Validation and development of high latitude in-water algorithm and primary production algorithm Validation and development of high latitude atmospheric correction algorithm with consideration of Asian dust effects
