Toward Routine Autonomous Measurement and Interpretation of Optical Variability in Coastal Waters
Abstract
Optical measurements can be used for describing oceanographic processes and for developing predictive models. However, a great deal of time and expertise is required for quality control, data management, and interpretation of results. The full potential of optical observation technology for oceanography will be realized only when appropriate measurements can be made routinely, with automatic generation of robust interpretations. Toward that end, our long-term goal is to broaden the utility of radiometric measurements (upwelling radiance and downwelling irradiance) so that turnkey systems can be developed for the generation of derived data, suitable for use by non-experts.
