During May and September of 1978, cruises were made in Monterey Bay
to study the relationship of ocean color spectra measured by aircraft and
in situ optical, hydrographic, and chemical parameters. These cruises were
carried out by the Oregon State University optical oceanography group and
by the Naval Postgraduate School...
Spectral beam attenuation coefficients, spectral volume scattering
function meaurements at 45°, 90°, and 130° particle size distributions
and chlorophyll a and phaeophytin pigment concentrations were measured during
May and September, 1977 in Monterey Bay, California. This data is examined
and statistical interrelationships between the parameters measured are
explored.
It was...
The Optical Dynamics Experiment (ODEX) cruise of Oct and Nov 1982 occupied 1984 stations along a transect from the California coast at 35°N to a study area covering the subtropical front near 32°N, 142°W. This report presents data collected with spectral—radiometer instrument package and particle size distributions of discrete water...
Various methods of presenting and mathematically describing particle
size distribution are explained and evaluated. The hyperbolic
distribution is found to be the most practical but the more complex
characteristic vector analysis is the most sensitive to changes in
the shape of the particle size distributions.
Particle size distribution, nutrient concentrations,...
