Optical Properties as Tracers of Water Mass Structure and Circulation Patterns in the Japan
Abstract
Our goals are to collect detailed optical and biogeochemical data sets in the global oceans to contribute to optical model parameterizations, algorithms for advanced ocean color satellite applications, and exploitation of satellite information to better understand biological-physical coupling in the oceans. In this project, we focus on the Japan/East Sea to improve our understanding of optical properties in the region, and apply this understanding to the study of circulation using optical remote sensing as a tracer of water masses.
