- Abstract:
- Standard algorithms for processing remote sensing data perform poorly in shelf seas when there are significant quantities of sediment or CDOM. I intend to use my knowledge of the optical properties of these waters together with radiance transfer modelling to develop new and modified algorithms for shelf seas. These algorithms will be tested using in situ measurements and remote sensing data from a wide range of shelf seas. A range of biogeophysical processes will be investigated in synchrony with algorithm development. This work will enhance validation of models of ecosystem productivity and sediment transport in shelf seas through improved retrieval of chlorophyll and sediment concentrations from remote sensing.
