Oceanic Light Absorption Properties: Assessment and Characterization in the Southeastern Bering Sea Using Field and Satellite Observations
Year: 2011

In recent decades the Bering Sea has been subjected to large climatic variability with cascading consequences on its productive marine ecosystem. Long-term as well as short-term monitoring is essential if we are to maintain its capability to supply the resources on which the national and local economy depend. Remote sensing together with in-situ and laboratory measurements of physical, biological and optical properties have considerable potential for monitoring and measuring the effects of clima
