Ocean Optics Projects

  • SHEBA - a coordinated program to address the interaction of the surface energy balance, atmospheric radiation, and clouds over the Arctic Ocean.

  • CoBOP - a 5-year initiative to investigate optical processes associated with the shallow ocean floor.

  • CMO - a study the interaction between mixing events and the distribution of optical parameters on the continental shelf.

  • Thin Layers - a study to experimentally determine the forcing and mixing conditions that characterize thin layers and their concomitant Inherent and Apparent Optical Properties (IOP and AOP).

  • SIMBIOS - a program to provide calibration and validation data for ocean color sensors and to merge ocean color data to create new products.

  • SeaWiFS - The purpose of the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) Project is to provide quantitative data on global ocean bio-optical properties to the Earth science community.

  • HyCODE - a five year program designed to utilize hyperspectral imagery to improve understanding of the diverse processes controlling inherent optical properties (IOPs) in the coastal ocean. 

  • SNSOP - Scattering by Non-Spherical Oceanic Particles

  • ANPP- Absorption by non-phytoplankton particulate - coming Soon
