Quantifying the Dynamic Ocean Surface Using Underwater Radiometric Measurement

Abstract

The primary focuses of this research are to understand the requirements of the inverse modeling of seasurface processes on the accuracy, resolution, and coverage of underwater unpolarized and polarized light-field measurements, to master the theoretical constraints and computational resources required of the modeling and simulation, and to improve the forward theoretical and simulation prediction capabilities in terms of accuracy and efficiency. We aim to investigate the feasibility and limitations of achieving the inverse problem of modeling the ocean surface using underwater light measurements. Our ultimate goal is to establish an efficacious, robust framework for the unique and efficient solution of the inverse problem in terms of both the statistical characterization and direct phase-resolved prediction of the ocean surface.
