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, colored dissolved organic matter, and suspended sediments on continental shelves to predict both the time-dependent, spatially-heterogeneous inherent optical properties [IOP] of subsurface waters and the consequent hyperspectral water leaving radiances [Lw] at the surface.
