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

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOAL. Mechanistically-based models and algorithms for ocean optical phenomena are the overall goals for this project. This will ensure the generation of models that are robust and reliable. A standard optical model for the oceans should result. The primary area of interest, at present, is the optics of the coastal ocean system. SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES. My efforts are directed to the construction of a valid, predictive Coastal Ocean Optical Model of Type 2 waters. The primary need is to account for the effects of suspended and resuspended particulate minerogenic matter.
