Chlorophyll Fluorescence Line Height [FLH] is analyzed based on the spatial similarity between MODIS [Chl] and FLH maps. FLH and [Chl] data of areas with high degree of spatial similarity were extracted from the whole scene and compared with the simple theoretical model of the expected variations of fluorescence magnitude with variations in chlorophyll concentration, absorption of non-algal particles, photosynthetically available radiation as well as solar zenith and viewing angles. Extracted data show good agreement with the model. Based on the model and satellite FLH data, fluorescence quantum yield is estimated.
