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

MARRA 9314206 这一建议是通过联合全球海洋观测系统和世界海洋环流实验水文计划的努力，收集和处理光学和色素分布数据的一项持续努力。 该方案将操作一个生物光学剖面仪，收集上层水柱的生物和光学特性数据。 采集的数据包括光谱辐照度（上升流和下降流各7个通道）、宽带可见光辐照度（PAR）、荧光和光束透射。 这也许是首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算法和估计初级生产量将非常宝贵。 ***

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. ***
