Reflectance Data + Mostafa's Dissertation #15

Open 7yl4r opened 1 year ago

7yl4r commented 1 year ago

FMK wants Mostafa to work with the reflectance data. David English is the lead on that analysis. He has some code to help with this. There is an IOCCG document on this. Dan will send IOCCG document as a starting point, then Mostafa can connect with David directly.

research questions:

  1. find stations with multiple datasets collected at the same time to create time series. Molasses Reef, Western Sambo, Looe Key,
  2. characterize variation in plankton productivity in FL Keys & how it relates to ocean color. Need to look at biomass, optics, & satellite data to see changes in FL Keys.

Creating a vertical profile at each of the major stations for nutrients, chlorophyll, and whatever else you can would be a good start. The can move towards comparison of surface productivity and reflectance.
