MOBY is a reference instrument for satellite measurement of the ocean.
MOBY is an ocean-color sensor that serves as a primary reference instrument for satellite measurements of the color of the ocean. Single-cell plants called phytoplankton contain chlorophyll that reflects the green in sunlight, which gives the ocean color. Researchers can study these measurements to better understand the planet's climate. MOBY received an upgrade as part of the Refresh project that will enable more precise and accurate measurements.
