[Abstract]

　For the global mapping of chlorophyll biomass using by ocean color remote sensing, ship observations were carried out in the Pacific Ocean and the central Japan Sea. Although satellite data can show surface chorophyll density, vertical distribution pattern should be known for calculating water culumn biomass. Phytoplankton vertical distribution model was established for estimating water column total phytoplankton biomass and primary productivity. The technologies for producing satellite ocean color composite images were developed. The monthly composites of CZCS-derived chlorophyll that covers the north west Pacific 1979-1986, was produced.
