Hydrospectral Coupled Ocean Dynamic Experiments

Hycode's long term goal is to determine under what optical conditions the vertical structure of inherent optical properties (IOP) can be obtained from remote sensing.  Develop and test a model for inverting the remotely sensed radiance (R_rs) to determine the vertical structure of the inherent optical properties.

Scientific Objectives:
Develop a two-flow model to evaluate the conditions under which subsurface optical structure is detectable. Develop an inversion model to determine the vertical structure of the IOP based on the presence of horizontal gradients in the spectral reflectance.
