The relationship of nitrate and sea surface temperature (SST) was firstly established by using the observed data of the northern South China Sea. The validity of the in situ data was also examined by the data from MODIS-SST. The adjusted data demonstrated a negative relationship between the nitrate and sea surface temperature (R2=0.7126). The 8-day and monthly composite SST values by remote sensing have been used to estimate the nitrate concentration of sea surface in the South China Sea. The 8-day composite sea surface concentration ranged from 0 to 3.3167 μM, and monthly composite from 0 to 2.0590 μM. The estimated nitrate concentration in the South China Sea was exactly in accord with the in situ and historical data.
