Resumen

The relationship between SST and chlorophyll fields from satellite imagery can be computed from several methods. However, the value of the correlation of both fields uses to be lower than expected. It is demonstrated that this is due to a shift between the two fields from the time response of the biological system and the marine dynamic. Authors present a simple method to correct the shift between both fields based on the computation of their skeletons to improve the correlation.
