Abstract Current ocean color sensors, for example SeaWiFS and MODIS, are well suited for sampling the open ocean. However,
coastal environments are spatially and optically more complex and require more frequent sampling and higher spatial
resolution sensors with additional spectral channels. We have conducted experiments with data from Hyperion and
airborne hyperspectral imagers to evaluate these needs for a variety of coastal environments. Here we present results
from an analysis of airborne hyperspectral data for a Harmful Algal Bloom in Monterey Bay. Based on these results and
earlier studies we recommend increased frequency of sampling, increased spatial sampling and additional spectral
channels for ocean color sensors for coastal environments.
