Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Although instruments on other satellites have sensed ocean color, their spectral bands, spatial resolution, and dynamic range were optimized for geographical or meteorological use. In the CZCS, every parameter is optimized for use over water to the exclusion of any other type of sensing. The CZCS flew on the Nimbus-7 spacecraft. 3, record 2, English, - coastal%20zone%20colour%20scanner
