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.

尽管经过几十年的研究， 人们对海洋生物生产的变异性知之甚少。 这是因为直到最近，这些测量都依赖于 对船上的离散样本进行孵化实验。 的 海洋遥感（飞机或卫星）的出现 属性，有可能大大提高我们的估计 海洋生物生产力。 这项工作将使直接 海洋表层浮游植物测量 与遥感光学测量相结合的特性。 这项工作将在一个生物动态区域完成， 南加州，并应导致显着增强 从远程预测海洋生产力的能力 测量.
