Spatial and Temporal Measurements of Benthic Optical Properties

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOAL. The long-term goal of this project is to characterize the spatial and temporal variability of spectral bottom reflectance and the boundary layer of water just above the bottom in optically shallow coastal environments. The overall goal is to develop and test radiative transfer models for optically shallow waters that can be applied to problems in underwater visibility, bottom-type classification, lidar bathymetry, hyperspectral remote sensing, and submerged aquatic vegetation productivity.
