Satellite Data for the Plumes and Blooms Experiment, Santa Barbara Channel, Channel Islands, and Southern California

Entry ID: UCSB_ICESS_PNB_SATELLITEDATA

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The Plumes and Blooms program seeks to understand the sources of
sediment plumes and phytoplankton blooms, as they relate to ocean
color and to the sediment geochronology of the Santa Barbara Basin.

The primary goal of the Plumes and Blooms research program is to
develop numerical algorithms to relate the satellite-sensed ocean
color signal to useful quantities for ocean scientists and coastal
...
