A Simulation Analysis of the Time-dependent Roles of Phytoplankton and CDOM in Effecting the 3-dimensional Structure of Inherent Optical Properties on the West Florida Shelf

Abstract

Construction and validation of coupled physical/ecological/bio-optical models of phytoplankton and colored dissolved organic matter [CDOM] on continental shelves to predict both the timedependent spatially-heterogeneous inherent optical properties [IOP] of subsurface waters and the consequent hyperspectral water leaving radiances [Lw] at the surface.
