Characterization and Modeling of Inherent Optical Properties in the Gulf of Maine

Abstract

Our long term goal is to contribute to a fundamental understanding of the sources of biological, physical and optical variability in coastal ocean systems. Particular focus is on applications useful for studying important ecological processes and the links between phytoplankton properties and physical processes in coastal regions.
