In situ Validation of the Source of Thin Layers Detected by NOAA Airborne Fish Lidar
Abstract
Our long-term goal is to understand how physical-biological, biological-biological and chemical-biological interactions control the formation, maintenance and dissipation of thin layers of plankton and how the resulting thin layers impact in situ and remote sensing technologies of critical interest to the Navy. We are also interested in improving our ability not only to detect, characterize and map the temporal and spatial extent of thin layers, but also to improve our ability to predict their occurrence in a variety of ocean environments.
