From Microns to Millimeteres: The Use of Optically Determined Particle Size and Distribution in Understanding Coastal Vertical Mixing Processes
Abstract
This is a continuation of a project with Dr. W. D. Gardner and Dr. M. J. Richardson at Texas A&M University. Our long-term goals are 1) to determine how changes in particle size distribution, composition and concentration on the shelf affect inherent optical properties (attenuation, absorption and scattering) and 2) correlate these measurements with hydrographic measurements (including wave and current shear stress as measured by others) to determine the forcing functions and biological processes that cause the temporal and spatial variations in optical properties on the shelf.
