The ocean plays a central role in modulating the Earth's carbon cycle. Monitoring how the
ocean carbon cycle is changing is fundamental to managing climate change. Satellite …

The open ocean carbonate pump represents the production and downward flux of
particulate inorganic carbon (PIC) in the form of calcium carbonate synthesized by calcifying …

A lidar technique has been proposed and demonstrated for remotely sensing particulate
beam attenuation coefficient (cp) profiles using the Raman backscattered signal from water …

Accurate estimates of the oceanic particulate organic carbon concentration (POC) from
optical measurements have remained challenging because interactions between light and …

Numerical models of ocean biogeochemistry are becoming the major tools used to detect
and predict the impact of climate change on marine resources and to monitor ocean health …

Marine particles are key to the cycling of major elements on Earth and play an important role
in the balance of nutrients in the ocean. Three main categories of marine particles link the …

Abstract Model parameterizations of particulate organic carbon (POC) flux are critical for
simulating the strength and future evolution of the biological carbon pump (BCP) but remain …

Biogeographical classifications of the global ocean generalize spatiotemporal trends in
species or biomass distributions across discrete ocean biomes or provinces. These …

A new model for transport and fate of chemicals in the aquatic environment is presented.
The tool, named ChemicalDrift, is integrated into the open-source Lagrangian framework …

Optical proxies based on light scattering measurements have potential to improve the study
and monitoring of aquatic environments. In this study, we evaluated several optical proxies …
