Some of the processes under investigation for the HyCODE project include advection of optically important material, phytoplankton growth and loss, bubble injection, sediment resuspension, fronts, and internal waves.
Applied research focuses on the development and validation of hyperspectral ocean color algorithms.
Our study as part of the HyCODE program concerns the prediction of IOPs and AOPs and their temporal and spatial variability, which bear on underwater visibility, improved capabilities for naval operations in the coastal ocean, and the health of the coastal ecosystem.
