Ocean color measurements from the Chesapeake Bay Observing System (CBOS) in support of sea WiFS data

Principal Investigator:

Lawrence W. Harding, Jr.

Start/End Year:

1996 - 1998

Institution:

Horn Point Laboratory, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science

Co-Principal Investigator:

William C. Boicourt, Horn Point Laboratory, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science

Description:

The objective of the proposed research is to use surface observations of ocean color on buoys to calibrate and validate satellite-derived products from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS). Ocean color sensors will be deployed on buoys of the Chesapeake Bay Observing System (CBOS) in the mid - to lower Bay and coordinated with aircraft and satellite measurements.
