Finescale Planktonic Vertical Structure: Horizontal Extent and the Controlling Physical Processes

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to quantify the interactions between small-scale biological and physical processes within the upper ocean. Our work within the Layered Organization in the Coastal Ocean (LOCO) DRI examines specific scientific questions that relate the distribution and variability in sub1m scale bio-optical properties with coincident vertical and horizontal scales of physical properties
