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 …

The water mass transformation (WMT) framework weaves together circulation,
thermodynamics, and biogeochemistry into a description of the ocean that complements …

Oceanic LiDAR (hereafter referred to as O-LiDAR) is an important remote sensing device for
measuring the near-coastal water depth and for studying the optical properties of water …

The new edition of this widely respected text provides comprehensive and up-to-date
coverage of the effects of biological–physical interactions in the oceans from the microscopic …

The present study examines the potential of using the near‐surface chlorophyll a
concentration ([Chla] surf), as it can be derived from ocean color observation, to infer the …

The 'biological pump'mediates flux of carbon to the interior of the ocean by interctions
between the components of the vertically-structured pelagic ecosystem of the photic zone …

Seven models for computing underwater radiances and irradiances by numerical solution of
the radiative transfer equation are compared. The models are applied to the solution of …

Optical Properties and Remote Sensing of Inland and Coastal Waters discusses the
methodology and the theoretical basis of remote sensing of water. It presents physical …

The vertical distribution of chlorophyll in stratified lakes and reservoirs frequently exhibits a
maximum peak deep in the water column, referred to as the deep chlorophyll maximum …

Solar radiation absorption and local heating within the upper layers of the open ocean are
