An analysis of more than 500 stations from polar seas was undertaken to evaluate predictive
models linking in situ phytoplankton pigment concentrations to measurable optical …

Historically, the construction of global maps of ocean productivity has been a difficult task
(Berger, 1989). Representative, precise, and accurate measurements of carbon fixation …

Phytoplankton, like all photosynthetic organisms, have highly complex lightharvesting
systems, consisting of pigment beds arranged on asymmetrical membranes. These pigment …

A coupled physical/biological/optical model was developed to investigate the causes of
phytoplankton variability in the spring 1979 Mid‐Atlantic Bight (MAB) as observed in Coastal …

Biological, optical, and hydrographical data were collected on the WEC88 cruise along 150°
W and during a 6‐day time series station on the equator during February/March 1988. This …

Numerous empirical data from nine large Polish-Russian research expeditions and other
smaller expeditions to various regions of the World Ocean during 1978-1991 were used to …

A method for estimating the diffuse attenuation coefficient for downward irradiance, K d (λ),
from time-series data of irradiance and sea-surface wave elevation is presented. Data …

Imagery acquired by viewing through the air-sea interface is generally degraded by
refraction at the interface, as well as by atmospheric and in-water scattering. A key problem …
