In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 5 as published. The signs of the ß₄ coefficients for MLR1 for MODIS and SeaWiFS appeared as 1.692 and 0.089, respectively, and should have been shown as −1.692 and −0.089, respectively. The corrected Table 5 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
