Satellite Characterization of Bio-Optical and Thermal Variability in the Japan/East Sea

Abstract

The goal is to understand the physical and optical processes occurring of the Japan/East Sea through the use of satellite thermal and ocean color remote sensing. We have created a climatology of the inherent optical properties (IOP s) using SeaWiFS satellite imagery to define how the bio-optical cycle is driven by the physical processes and circulation.
