Measurements of Ocean Spectral Irradiance for Correlation with Satellite Remote Sensing

Abstract

Underwater ocean truth data were collected in conjunction with the NIMBUS VII Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) experiment. The data were provided to permit a correlation of remote radiometric measurements with the biological constituency and optical properties of the seawater investigated. Preliminary examination of expendable bathythermography data indicates that a correlation between irradiance data and water temperature may exist where the thermocline structure is significant.
