Influences of Microbial and Mineral Particles on Oceanic Optics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The overall goal of this work is to understand in detail how various types of microbial and mineral particles and dissolved substances determine the inherent and apparent optical properties (IOPs and AOPs) of oceanic waters. In particular, we wish to quantify how variability in the detailed composition of oceanic water determines the variability in the IOPs (such as absorption and scattering coefficients) and AOPs (such as spectral reflectance and diffuse attenuation functions). This work is fundamental to the development of bio-geo-optical models for Case II waters, for which the presently available bio-optical models are known to fail.

Effects of microbial particles on oceanic optics: Methodology for radiative transfer modeling and example simulations
Radiative transfer numerical modeling provides a powerful means of separating and understanding the effects of various types of microbial particles on oceanic light fields. We illustral:e the methodology for achieving this separation and provide various idealized examples. We begin with a database of the single-particle optical properties of marine microbial particles and then construct the tot...
متن کاملMineral chemistry and physical conditions of crystallization in Filshour and Goft dioritic intrusions, Southwest of Sabzevar
The Late cretaceous dioritic intrusions of Filshour and Goft in southwest of Sabzevar are situated in the northern edge of central Iran zone. The rocks of these plutons show porphyry, granular, ophitic and subophitic textures and are composed of amphibole, plagioclase and clinopyroxene (in diorites), along with quartz (in quartz diorites). The amphiboles of these rocks are in the group of calci...
متن کاملModeling the optical properties of mineral particles suspended in seawater and their influence on ocean reflectance and chlorophyll estimation from remote sensing algorithms.
The optical properties of mineral particles suspended in seawater were calculated from the Mie scattering theory for different size distributions and complex refractive indices of the particles. The ratio of the spectral backscattering coefficient to the sum of the spectral absorption and backscattering coefficients of seawater, b(b)(lambda)/[a(lambda) + b(b)(lambda)], was analyzed as a proxy f...
متن کاملAdhesion of mineral and soot aerosols can strongly affect their scattering and absorption properties.
We use the numerically exact superposition T-matrix method to compute the optical cross sections and the Stokes scattering matrix for polydisperse mineral aerosols (modeled as homogeneous spheres) covered with a large number of much smaller soot particles. These results are compared with the Lorenz-Mie results for a uniform external mixture of mineral and soot aerosols. We show that the effect ...
