• Resumen

  • The new generation of ocean color data has promote the development of new tools for the exploitation of this type of remote sensed data of the seas. The OPPP (Ocean Primary Production Processor) prototype is the output of a ESRIN project whose main propose is to create a basic infrastructure for primary production estimation and validation with new satellite's data, as the ones from MERIS, in the near future. In this article we present a short compilation of the scientific results obtained in the calibration/validation of the new tool OPPP. Also some examples of the application of the software to the Canary Islands waters (Spain) are shown.
