Variability of Irradiance in the Wave Boundary Layer

Abstract

Our primary goal is improve our understanding of the role of surface waves, bubble clouds, and nearsurface oceanic processes on the spatial distribution of oceanic irradiance. The objectives are to: * Measure the variance in the oceanic light field? * Associate the variance in the light field with surface waves and variance in the inherent optical properties?
