Two physical oceanography cruises on the R/V Endeavor were conducted by the co-PIs Jack Barth and Mike Kosro as part of the ONR-sponsored Coastal Mixing and Optics (CMO) Accelerated Research Initiative. The objective was to rapidly survey a region around 40.5N, 70.5W where a set of moorings and a stationary...
As part of the Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) project Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST), this was the second of two cruises in 2001 to study cross-shelf transport processes in a wind-driven coastal ocean. The project includes field experiments off the Oregon coast and coordinated ocean circulation/ecosystem and atmospheric...
Since June 2010, the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) has been collecting the first
diurnally resolved satellite ocean measurements. Here GOCI retrievals of phytoplankton chlorophyll
concentration and fluorescence are used to evaluate daily to seasonal changes in photophysiological
properties. We focus on nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) processes that protect phytoplankton from...
