Optical Closure in Coastal Waters
Our scientific objectives encompass both empirical and theoretical investigations. Empirical objectives are: 1) develop new instruments and methods for measuring ocean-optical properties, 2) conduct systematic coastal ocean measurements for testing closure and for characterizing optical properties and the processes related to their changes, and 3) perform laboratory experiments to investigate o...
متن کاملWater Quality in Coastal Waters
The aim of this work is to introduce the potential of satellite-based remote sensing data to agencies responsible for monitoring and managing water quality in the coastal zone of Western Australia. There exists a knowledge and/or expertise gap between satellite data providers and potential end users. This project aims to close the gap by developing a fundamental management tool that will be geo...
متن کاملProperties of Coastal Waters around the Us: Preliminary Results Using Meris Data
MERIS imageries over coastal waters around the United States were ordered from ESA. These data either reveal enormous phytoplankton blooms (chlorophyll concentrations in the range of 100 – 1000 mg/m) or turbid river plume waters or optically shallow environments. We used in situ measurements to validate remote-sensing reflectance derived from MERIS. Further, we applied algorithms designed for o...
متن کاملSub-kilometer length scales in coastal waters
Patchiness or spatial variability is ubiquitous in marine systems. With increasing anthropogenic impacts to coastal resources and coastal systems being disproportionately large contributors to ocean productivity, identifying the spatial scales of this patchiness, particularly in coastal waters, is of critical importance to understand coastal ecosystem dynamics. The current work focuses on fine ...
متن کاملSensor fusion for coastal waters surveillance
We describe a large sensor field whose mission is to protect coastal waters by detecting objects like submarines. The system is buoy-based and distributed over a littoral area. The opportunities for detection are short and intermittent and the signal to noise ratio is low. The topology of the field changes with time due to currents, wind, tides and storms. The field has a number of gateway node...
