Fluorescence line height (FLH) is a relative measure of the amount of radiance leaving the sea surface in the chlorophyll fluorescence emission band. Satellite-derived FLH images provide information about the surface chlorophyll distribution which in turn can be used for monitoring surface phytoplan...
