Horizontal and Vertical Expression of Planktonic Finescale Processes

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to quantify the interactions between small-scale biological and physical processes within the upper ocean. This project has addressed that goal by examining specific scientific questions that relate the distribution and variability in sub-1m scale bio-optical properties with coincident vertical and horizontal scales of physical properties.
