High Resolution Time Series Observations and Modeling of Radiance, Optical Properties, and Physical Processes as Part of RaDyO

Abstract

The overall goal of the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) Ocean Physics Laboratory (OPL) Radiance in a Dynamic Ocean (RaDyO) project is to contribute to the understanding and prediction of variations in radiance distributions as they are affected by physical forcing and physical and optical conditions of the surface boundary layer (SBL) and the upper ocean. The purpose of our research is to obtain, analyze, and model time series and vertical profile data; specifically, inherent optical properties (IOPs) and physical variables in the SBL and the upper oceanic layer as forced by atmospheric conditions and as affected by other environmental conditions.
