Optical Dynamics in the Adriatic Sea: Production, Transformation and Transport of Optical Properties from the Coastal Zone into the Open Ocean

Abstract

The objectives of this effort are to examine: * The transitions of inherent optical properties across coastal/open ocean boundaries and their effect on apparent optical characteristics of the water column. * The role of physical processes (river inflow, upwelling, coastal filaments, and frontal processes) in the production, distribution and flux of optical properties between the coastal and the offshore zones. * The relationship between the surface expression of three-dimensional ocean processes and the interior processes.
