Understanding the composition of suspended particles in the ocean is essential for unraveling biogeochemical cycles, assessing ecosystem health, and improving remote sensing algorithms. Among the suite of optical tools available to oceanographers, in...
In aquatic optics and phytoplankton ecology, chlorophyll-a has long been the go-to proxy for estimating biomass and productivity. However, as our understanding of aquatic ecosystems deepens, so does our need for more nuanced tools. One such tool is Sequoia’s...
The University of Hawai’i at Manoa (UH) operates the Hyper-bb hyperspectral backscatter instrument. Professor Angelicque White uses the instrument as a component of the open ocean Hawai’i Ocean Time-series (HOT) program to collect key datasets...
