Bio-Optical Response and Coupling with Physical Processes in the Lombok Strait Region

Abstract

The primary goals of this study are to understand: 1. The three-dimensional distribution of inherent optical properties in the Philippine archipelago, a relatively unexplored region of the world ocean for which relatively little optical data exist. 2. The coupling of bio-optical properties with the physical processes that contribute to and result from the dynamics of flow through straits and steep topography. 3. Relationship between the surface expression of three-dimensional ocean processes and the interior processes 4. The contribution of dissolved and particulate matter to in-water optical properties and their effect on ocean color remote sensing.
