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

MARA 9314206这项建议是全球海洋观测系统和世界海洋环流实验水文计划相结合，收集和处理光学和颜料分布数据的一项持续努力。该计划将运行一台生物光学剖面仪，以收集关于上层水柱的生物和光学特性的数据。收集的数据包括光谱辐照度(上升流和下流流各7个通道)、宽带可见光辐照度(PAR)、荧光和光束传输。这可能是关于海洋色素和光学性质的系统和一致数据收集的第一项工作，对于改进海洋色素卫星成像的算法和估计初级生产量将是无价的。***

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. ***
