Hyperspectral Ocean Color Science: Bermuda and Santa Barbara Channel

Abstract

Our goal is to develop validation data sets for the modeling and interpreting of hyperspectral satellite ocean color imagery. This grant supports the addition of new optical measurements to the existing measurement programs for the clear natural waters off Bermuda and the Case II waters of the Santa Barbara Channel. We are just completing our first year and have nearly completed the implementation of addition measurements in the Bermuda BioOptics Project (BBOP) and the Plumes and Blooms (PnB) in situ sampling programs. These enhancements will fill the most glaring holes in the BBOP and PnB in situ science programs for the task of analyzing and modeling hyperspectral reflectance spectra and satellite imagery.
