Ocean Optical Modeling: The Complex Optical Field Structure and Dynamics of Coastal Case 2 Waters

Abstract

Mechanistically-based models and algorithms for ocean optical phenomena are the basis of this project. Models derived from these considerations are robust, reliable, and most importantly -- transportable. Thus a standard optical model for the oceans is in development. The requirement for constructing a standard model is a simple and reliable parameterization. The parameterization here is based on chlorophyll and suspended minerogenic matter.
