RISA New Method for the Measurement of the Optical Volume Scattering Function in the Upper Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new method to measure the optical volume scattering function (VSF) of seawater is presented. The VSF is a fundamental property used in the calculation of radiative transfer for applications as diverse as upper-ocean ...
Vertical Mixing in the Equatorial Pacific along 150°W in March 1988
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A meridional transect along 150°W in March 1988 revealed a statistically significant maximum in turbulent kinetic energy dissipation, ? at 1°S?0° between 40-m and 60-m depth. The wind stress and buoyancy flux were poorly ...
Effects of Penetrative Radiation on the Upper Tropical Ocean Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of penetrative radiation on the upper tropical ocean circulation have been investigated with an ocean general circulation model (OGCM) with attenuation depths derived from remotely sensed ocean color data. The ...
An Example Crossover Experiment for Testing New Vicarious Calibration Techniques for Satellite Ocean Color Radiometry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vicarious calibration of ocean color satellites involves the use of accurate surface measurements of water-leaving radiance to update and improve the system calibration of ocean color satellite sensors. An experiment was ...
