The project aims to improve our understanding of light–matter interactions in the waters of the Southern Ocean (SO), in particular the role of phytoplankton and associated material of biological origin. Phytoplankton are the energy source for the food web and a critical component of carbon cycling in the SO. However, their dynamics in the SO cannot be quantified using satellite observations because bio-optical data processing algorithms perform poorly due to a lack of field data. This project seeks to remedy this by improving understanding of SO bio-optics, and by providing novel algorithms of known uncertainty, based on in situ data.

该项目旨在提高我们对南大洋（SO）水域光物质相互作用的理解，特别是浮游植物和生物来源的相关物质的作用。浮游植物是食物网的能量来源，也是SO中碳循环的重要组成部分。然而，由于缺乏野外数据，生物光学数据处理算法表现不佳，因此无法使用卫星观测来量化它们在SO中的动态。该项目旨在通过提高对SO生物光学的理解，并提供基于原位数据的已知不确定性的新算法来解决这一问题。
