Despite several decades of research, the magnitude and variability of biological production in the sea is poorly known. This is because until recently these measurements relied on incubation experiments done on discrete sampling from ships. The advent of remote sensing (from airplanes or satellites) of ocean properties, has the potential to greatly improve our estimates of marine biological productivity. This work will make direct measurements of surface ocean phytoplankton (plant) characteristics coupled to remotely sensed optical measurements. The work will be done in a biologically dynamic region off southern California and should result in a significantly enhanced capability to predict ocean productivity from remote measurements.

尽管进行了几十年的研究，但人们对海洋中生物生产的规模和可变性知之甚少。这是因为直到最近，这些测量还依赖于从船上离散取样进行的孵化实验。对海洋特性的遥感（从飞机或卫星）的出现，有可能大大改善我们对海洋生物生产力的估计。这项工作将结合遥感光学测量直接测量表层海洋浮游植物（植物）的特征。这项工作将在加州南部沿海的一个生物动态区域进行，并将大大提高通过远程测量预测海洋生产力的能力。
