Simultaneous Multispectral Optical Measurement of Phytoplankton and Acoustical Measurement of Zooplankton

Abstract

Goals and objectives include: a) To understand the physical and biological dynamics controlling the micro- and fine-scale distributions of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the ocean. b) To use multispectral optical measurements and three-dimensional acoustic imaging to quantify the microscale and fine-scale vertical patchiness of several taxa of phytoplankton and large zooplankton in situ.
