Hyperspectral Modeling of Harmful Algal Blooms on the West Florida Shelf

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOAL: Construction and validation of a coupled physical/ecological/bio-optical simulation of phytoplankton, colored dissolved organic matter, and suspended sediments on the West Florida Shelf. This simulation will be used to test the hypothesis that the spectral quality and quantity of the available photon flux are two of the determining factors in the initiation of G. breve blooms on the West Florida Shelf.
