New Instrumentation in Support of Observations for the ONR Radiance in a Dynamic Ocean (RaDyO) Program

Abstract

An overall goal of the UCSB OPL RaDyO project is to contribute to the understanding and prediction of variations in radiance distributions as they are affected by physical forcing and conditions of the surface boundary layer (SBL) and the upper ocean. The purpose of our proposed research is to obtain, analyze, and model time series and vertical profile data; specifically, inherent optical properties (IOPs) and physical variables in the SBL and the upper oceanic layer as forced by atmospheric conditions and affected by other environmental conditions.
