Field Measurements of the Influence of Bubbles on the Inherent Optical Properties of the Upper Ocean

Abstract

This report describes the research performed on behalf of the Office of Naval Research to understand the influence of air-sea interaction processes on hyperspectral remote-sensing of the ocean's surface. The Hyperspectral Coupled Ocean Dynamics Experiment (HYCODE) and Monte Carlo Radiative model were used to investigate these processes, as well as newly refined acoustic techniques. A byproduct of this research will be models to correct for bubble mediated effects in measured hyperspectral light fields using wind and wave information. The program also presented an opportunity to develop techniques for inverting remotely-sensed hyperspectral imagery for in-situ bubble concentrations.
