Raman scattering can be a significant contributor to the emergent radiance spectrum from the surface ocean. Here, we present an analytical approach to directly estimate the Raman contribution to remote sensing reflectance, and evaluate its effects on optical properties estimated from two common semi analytical inversion models. For application of...
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...

Reconciling rates of organic carbon export from the euphotic zone with the consumption of organic material in the dark ocean remains one of the major quantitative uncertainties of the ocean carbon cycle. Euphotic zone net community production (NCP) provides one broad constraint on export flux and potential carbon drawdown. However,...
Submarine volcanic eruptions can result in both real and apparent changes in marine algal communities, e.g., increases in phytoplankton biomass and/or growth rates that can cover thousands of square kilometers. Satellite ocean color monitoring detects these changes as increases in chlorophyll and particulate backscattering. Detailed, high resolution analysis is needed...
