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

Abstract

The long term goal is to understand the coupling of bio-optical processes and properties with physical processes in ocean regions of strong physical forcing. Strong physical forcing can include wind forcing, tidal forcing, and significant freshwater buoyancy fluxes. The objectives are to study the dynamics of bio-optical properties in the South China Sea and their response to monsoonal winds, river inputs and topography; link in situ measurements with remote sensing to be able to constrain parameter values and processes using remote observations.
