Satellite Characterization of Bio-optical and Thermal Variability in the Sea of Japan
收藏资源简介：
The investigator will analyze AVHRR and SeaWiFS imagery and establish a three year time series of imagery processed to bio-optical properties (absorption, scattering, and chlorophyll) and SST, both co-registered at 1 km spatial resolution. He will also go on the two SEASOAR cruises to download satellite data on board ship in real time and provide guidance to the rest of the research team regarding the strength and location of fronts, eddies, etc. The approach is to calibrate the imagery via direct comparison with physical and optical properties observed in-situ aboard an oceanographic research vessel. International Collaborators include: Dr. Moon-Sik Suk (KORDI, with L. Kantha, U.S.) on bio-optical modeling and data assimilation.
