Particulate Backscattering in the Global Ocean: A Comparison of Independent Assessments
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 How well do we know the particulate backscattering coefficient (bbp) in the global ocean? Satellite lidar bbp has never been validated globally and few studies have compared lidar bbp to bbp derived from reflectances (via ocean color) or in situ ...

Observing the Ocean Submesoscale with Enhanced-Color GOES-ABI Visible Band Data
Sensors, 2019 Ocean color remote sensing has long been utilized as a fundamental research tool in the oceanographic investigations of coupled biological-physical processes. Despite numerous technical advances in the application of space borne ocean-viewing radiometers,

Ocean Color Spectrum Calculations [PDF]
Applied Optics, 1974 There is obvious value in developing the means for measuring a number of subsurface oceanographic parameters using remotely sensed ocean color data. The first step in this effort should be the development of adequate theoretical models relating the desired oceanographic parameters to the upwelling radiances to be observed.

An evaluation of ocean color model estimates of marine primary productivity in coastal and pelagic regions across the globe [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2011 Nearly half of the earth's photosynthetically fixed carbon derives from the oceans. To determine global and region specific rates, we rely on models that estimate marine net primary productivity (NPP) thus it is essential that these models are evaluated ...

Weighing the ocean: Using a single mooring to measure changes in the mass of the ocean [PDF]
, 2012 Combining ocean and earth models, we show that there is a region in the central Pacific ocean where ocean bottom pressure is a direct measure of interannual changes in ocean mass, with a noise level for annual means below 3 mm water equivalent, and a ...

The Propagation of Sunlight and the Size Distribution of Suspended Particles in a Municipally Polluted Ocean Water [PDF]
, 1974 Waste discharge by the Los Angeles County Sanitation District (LACSD) affects sunlight in the ocean. Increased sunlight attenuance affects productivity and changes in ocean surface color could be useful for monitoring dispersal. Temperature, sunlight

Assessing the Skills of a Seasonal Forecast of Chlorophyll in the Global Pelagic Oceans
Remote Sensing, 2021 While forecasts of atmospheric variables, and to a lesser degree ocean circulation, are relatively common, the forecast of biogeochemical conditions is still in its infancy.

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022 This study enabled us to determine the sources of sediment for glacial catchments and investigate the differences in properties, i.e., suspended sediment concentration (SSC), turbidity measured in the laboratory (TLAB) and in the field (TF), mean ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Hybrid zones are natural laboratories for investigating the dynamics of gene flow, reproductive isolation, and speciation. A predominant marine hybrid (or suture) zone encompasses Christmas Island (CHR) and Cocos (Keeling) Islands (CKE), where 15 ...
