A remote sensing experiment was conducted in which success depended upon the real-time use of an algorithm, generated from MOCS (multichannel ocean color sensor) data onboard the NASA P-3 aircraft, to direct the NOAA ship Kelez to oceanic stations where vitally needed sea truth could be collected. Remote data sets collected on two consecutive days of the mission were consistent with the sea truth for low concentrations of chlorophyll a. Two oceanic regions of special interest were located. The algorithm and the collected data are described.
