Bio-Optical Propertie#s inthe Ocean: A Collaboration BetweenJGOFS and the WOCE Hydrographic Program

为了实现其目标，联合全球海洋通量 研究必须在空间密集型和空间 广泛的模式（JGOFS，1990年），即在过程中的研究， 具体地点和海洋调查。 该项目是为 光学和颜料数据的收集和处理 分布在调查模式，并结合努力， JGOFS和世界海洋环流实验（WOCE） 水文方案。 研究人员将操作一个生物- 光学轮廓仪收集生物和光学数据 上层水柱的特性。 测量结果应 包括光谱辐照度（上升流和下降流）， 宽带可见光辐照度（PAR）、荧光和光束 传输 这项研究是一项 系统和一致地收集关于海洋色素的数据 和光学性能，应该是非常宝贵的改善 海洋色素的卫星成像算法， 估计初级生产。 在此情况下收集的数据 该计划将提供给海洋学社区， 特别是及时向JGOFS和WOCE调查人员提供 用于分析

In order to meet its objectives, the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study must operate in both spatially intensive and spatially extensive modes (JGOFS, 1990), that is, in process studies at specific sites and in ocean surveys. This project is for the collection and processing of data on optics and pigment distributions in the survey mode, and combines the efforts of JGOFS and the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) Hydrographic Program (WHP). The researchers will operate a bio- optical profiler to collect data on the biological and optical properties of the upper water column. The measurements to be made include spectral irradiance (upwelling and downwelling), broad-band visible irradiance (PAR), fluorescence, and beam transmission. This study represents the first undertaking of a systematic and consistent data collection on the oceans pigment and optical properties, and should be invaluable in improving algorithms for satellite imaging of ocean pigments and in estimating primary production. The data collected under this program will be provided to the oceanographic community in particular to JGOFS and WOCE Investigators in a timely fashion for analysis.
