Shelf-Slope Physical/Biological Response to Monsoonal Wind Forcing and Riverine Inflow - 4D Sampling with Towed Profilers and Autonomous Gliders Off Vietnam

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALS: To develop improved predictive capabilities for the distribution of particulate and dissolved materials in the open and the coastal ocean. OBJECTIVES: To study the dynamics of absorbing and scattering materials in the South China Sea and its response to physical forcings, namely the monsoon, river inputs and topography. Link in-situ measurements with remote sensing to be able to constrain parameter values and processes using remote observations.
