A Hyperspectral Tethered Spectral Radiometer Buoy: Ocean Color Algorithm Development in Estuaries, Coastal Waters, and Marginal Seas

Abstract

The goal for this project was to upgrade a multispectral tethered spectral radiometer buoy to a hyperspectral version that would have the capability to resolved fine scale features in reflectance related to pigment absorption peaks. The scientific goals that will follow the upgrade are to test an existing hyperspectral algorithm to extract the contributions to reflectance due to absorption and backscattering by particulate and dissolved components in optically deep waters (Roesler and Perry, 1995) and in optically shallow waters (Werdell and Roesler, in prep.).
