GLIMR is a hyperspectral ocean color sensor which targets the Gulf of America and other coastal and ocean waters of North and South America. With its vantage point from geostationary orbit, GLIMR will be the first hyperspectral ocean color sensor in the Western Hemisphere to study ocean processes at the diurnal timescales required to observe the dynamic ecological, biogeochemical, and physical processes typical of coastal and ocean waters. GLIMR is uniquely designed to capture the spatiotemporal evolution of phytoplankton bl
