Ocean Optical Modeling: The Complex Optical Field Structure and Dynamics of Coastal Case 2 Waters

Abstract

Models and algorithms for ocean optical phenomena that are mechanistically-based are the overall goals for this project. From these considerations come models that are robust and reliable. A standard optical model for the oceans is in development. This is being done by parameterizing and incorporating the optics of the coastal ocean system into Case 1 optical models. My efforts are directed toward the production of a valid, predictive Coastal Ocean Optical Model of Type 2 waters. The unmet need so far is the accounting for the effects of suspended and resuspended particulate minerogenic matter.
