Relating Ocean Optics to Photochemical Transformations of Dissolved Organic Carbon in Coastal Waters

Abstract

The two long-term goals of this research are (1) to use remotely sensed ocean optical data for estimates of the regional and global scale significance of photochemistry involving colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and (2) to produce high quality quantitative data on photochemical fading of CDOM that will allow forward prediction of the effect of this process on inherent optical properties in the sea.
