Ocean Optics class, 2011: Calibration and Validation for Ocean Color Remote Sensing

Emmanuel S Boss, University of Maine, emmanuel.boss@maine.edu (Presenter)

The 2011 ocean optics class focused on Calibration and Validation for Ocean Color Remote Sensing. Six faculty worked with twenty students (including 2 postdocs) introducing them to the theory, measurements and models needed to relate ocean color and in-situ optical measurements. The class consisted of morning lectures and afternoon hand-on labs. All students participated in a day long cruise collecting in-water inherent-optical properties while simultaneously collecting radiometry. These data were used as input into a radiative transfer (RT) model (Hydrolight) and Model-data closure was performed, comparing apparent optical properties measured with those obtained from the RT model. Uncertainties in data were emphasized and computed and a portfolio of all the activities was assembled and posted on the web. Finally, data collected was submitted by the students was submitted to SeaBASS.
