Hyperspectral remote sensing for shallow waters. 2. Deriving bottom depths and water properties by optimization.
In earlier studies of passive remote sensing of shallow-water bathymetry, bottom depths were usually derived by empirical regression. This approach provides rapid data processing, but it requires knowledge of a few true depths for the regression parameters to be determined, and it cannot reveal in-water constituents. In this study a newly developed hyperspectral, remote-sensing reflectance mode...
متن کاملA Neural Network Approach to Deriving Optical Properties and Depths of Shallow Waters
A Neural Network (NN) approach is studied in deriving information of bathymetry for optically shallow waters. In this study, more than 7000 remote-sensing reflectance (ratio of waterleaving radiance to downwelling irradiance above the surface) spectra for shallow waters were created with a semi-analytical model. This synthetic data base covered chlorophyll-a concentrations from 0.2 to 6 mg/m^3,...

متن کاملDisparate acidification and calcium carbonate desaturation of deep and shallow waters of the Arctic Ocean
The Arctic Ocean is acidifying from absorption of man-made CO2. Current predictive models of that acidification focus on surface waters, and their results argue that deep waters will acidify by downward penetration from the surface. Here we show, with an alternative model, the rapid, near simultaneous, acidification of both surface and deep waters, a prediction supported by current, but limited...
متن کاملLimited contribution of ancient methane to surface waters of the U.S. Beaufort Sea shelf
In response to warming climate, methane can be released to Arctic Ocean sediment and waters from thawing subsea permafrost and decomposing methane hydrates. However, it is unknown whether methane derived from this sediment storehouse of frozen ancient carbon reaches the atmosphere. We quantified the fraction of methane derived from ancient sources in shelf waters of the U.S. Beaufort Sea, a reg...
