Abstract
The specific goal of this work is to demonstrate the possibilities of new ocean color satellite sensors such as the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) for studying processes in the Eastern Mediterranean, with the Aegean Sea as an example. The Aegean Sea appears as an appropriate basin for study of contrasting ecosystems, because it is subjected to intrusion of water masses of different origin with pronounced contrast in bioproductivity: the eutrophic water from the Black Sea, and the oligotrophic water from the Levantine Basin.
