Coastal Ocean Optical Properties in Santa Barbara Basin - Blooms & Plumes

Abstract

Our primary goals are (1) to accurately model the optical properties of Case II waters in order to estimate the respective contributions and fluxes of biogenic and terrigenous material, and (2) to develop algorithms for the optical characteristics of Case II waters for comparison and testing with the recently launched SeaWiFS satellite.
