Coastal Optics and Mixing
Abstract
The long-term goal of this study is to relate optical and fluid dynamic processes on scales of centimeters to tens of meters in the vertical. The objectives of this study are to address the following questions: (1) Under what circumstances do the physical forcing mechanisms determine the optical properties and hence radiative transfer?; (2) Does mixing affect the dissolved and particulate components differently?; and (3) Can the distribution of dissolved and particulate optical substances be used as tracers of physical processes?
