Inherent Optical Properties in the Benthic Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We participated in the Coastal Benthic Optical Properties (CoBOP) experiment at Lee Stocking Island, the Bahamas, from 19 to 31 may, 1998. Our approach is to use the diver operated spectral absorption and attenuation meter (ac-9) developed by us in collaboration with Western Environmental Technology Laboratories (WET Labs). This device was used to measure these coefficients on small scales within coral reefs, seagrass beds and other benthic environments.

Environmental and Sensor Limitations in Optical Remote Sensing of Coral Reefs: Implications for Monitoring and Sensor Design
A generic method was developed for analysing the capabilities of optical remote sensing of aquatic systems in terms of environmental components and imaging sensor configurations. The method was based on a component based model of the entire system in which not only benthic composition but other environmental components such as water inherent optical properties (IOPs), bathymetry, sun elevation,...
متن کاملInvestigating the paleoecological characteristics of Abtalkh Formation at Bahadorkhan Section (Central Kopet-Dagh) based on planktonic and benthic foraminifera
Study of a late Late Santonian to Late Campanian hemipelagic succession from Abtalkh Formation at the Bahadorkhan section (Central Kopet-Dagh) enabled us to verify paleoecology changes based on planktonic and benthic foraminifera assemblage. Bahadorkhan section is consisted of calcareous shale, lime marl, marl, and a few dispersed chalky limestone beds. Upper and lower boundaries of Abtalkh For...
متن کاملSequence stratigraphy and depositional environment of the Oligocene deposits at Firozabad section, southwest of Iran based on microfacies analysis
The Asmari Formation was deposited in the foreland basin of southwest Iran (Zagros Basin). Carbonate sequences of the Asmari Formation consist mainly of large benthic foraminifera along with other skeletal and non-skeletal components. Three assemblage zones have been recognized by distribution of these large foraminifera in the study area that indicate Oligocene age (Rupelian-Chattian). Absence...
متن کاملAnalyzing the Optical Properties and Peak Behavior Due to Plasmon Resonance of Silver Cubic-Shape Nanostructures by Means of Discrete Dipole Approximation
In this article, the optical properties of silver cubic-shape nanostructures (SCNs) were analyzed by employing the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) in aqueous media. The absorption, dispersion and extinction cross-sections of these nanostructures were calculated based on the wavelength change of the incident light in the visible and near infrared region. Moreover, the height change, waveleng...
متن کاملSpatial and Diel Variability in Photosynthetic and Photoprotective Pigments in Shallow Benthic Communities
Our overall goal is to understand how photosynthetic and photoprotective pigments in benthic plants (primarily benthic microalgae) affect the optical properties (primarily spectral reflectance and fluorescence) of shallow benthic environments. The information gained will be used for the development and testing of rapid scanning optical techniques for detecting and assessing changes and specific...
