Satellite passive ocean color instruments have provided an unbroken∼ 20-year record of
global ocean plankton properties, but this measurement approach has inherent limitations in …

Passive ocean color images have provided a sustained synoptic view of the distribution of
ocean optical properties and color and biogeochemical parameters for the past 20-plus …

Lidar techniques present a distinctive ability to resolve vertical structure of optical properties
within the upper water column at both day-and night-time. However, accuracy challenges …

This paper provides a review of the development of profiling oceanographic lidars. These
can provide quantitative profiles of the optical properties of the water column to depths of 20 …

Abstract Churnside, JH, and Donaghay, PL 2009. Thin scattering layers observed by
airborne lidar.–ICES Journal of Marine Science, 66: 778–789. More than 2000 km of thin (< …

The well-known Garrett and Munk description of the internal wave spectrum synthesizes
many observations into a spectral model that reproduces the general features of the mid …

Oceanic lidar has emerged as a strong technology for oceanic 3-D remote sensing.
However, most existing oceanic lidars are bulky and high-power consumption and thus …

Thus far, the subject of deep-marine sands emplaced by baroclinic currents associated with
internal waves and internal tides as potential reservoirs has remained an alien topic in …

The first synoptic measurements of subsurface plankton layers were made in the western
Arctic Ocean in July 2014 using airborne lidar. Layers were detected in open water and in …

Oceanographic lidar can provide remote estimates of the vertical distribution of suspended
particles in natural waters, potentially revolutionizing our ability to characterize marine …
