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

Abstract

Our overarching 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 studied here is that associated with wind forcing and frontogenesis. In addition, we desire to understand the relationship between optical signatures and the components of the water column (e.g. sediments, phytoplankton and dissolved organic material) that create these signatures. Biological, chemical, geochemical, and geological processes contribute to these signatures.
