Modeling Coastal Ocean Optical Properties for Coupled Circulation and Ecosystem Models

Abstract

The overall goal of this work is to develop an extremely fast but accurate radiative transfer model, called Ecolight, for use in coupled physical-biological-optical ecosystem models, and then to use those models for understanding the ocean optical environment.
