Bio-Optical Properties in the Ocean: A Collaboration between JGOFS and the WOCE Hydrographic Program

本提案是联合JGOFS和世界海洋环流实验（WOCE）水文测量计划（WHP）收集和处理光学和色素分布数据的持续努力。该计划将使用生物光学剖面仪来收集上层水柱的生物和光学特性数据。收集的数据包括光谱辐照度（上升流和下升流各7个通道）、宽带可见辐照度（PAR）、荧光和光束透射。这也许是第一次系统和一致地收集关于海洋色素和光学特性的数据，对于改进海洋色素卫星成像的算法和估计初级产量将是非常宝贵的。＊＊＊

MARRA 9314206 This proposal is a continuing effort of to collect and process data on optics and pigment distribution by combining the efforts of JGOFS and the Word Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) Hydrographic Program (WHP). The program will operate a bio-optical profiler to collect data on the biological and optical properties of the upper water column. Data to collected include spectral irradiance (7 channels each of upwelling and downwelling ), broad-band visible irradiance (PAR), fluorescence, and beam transmission. This is perhaps the first undertaking of a systematic and consistent data collection on the oceans pigment and optical properties, and would be invaluable in improving algorithms for satellite imaging of ocean pigments and in estimating primary production. ***
