STUDY ON OPTICAL PROPERTY OF RED TIDE ALGAL SPECIES

摘要

This research is about the optical characteristic of algal which is collected from Nam-Hae for basic research of red tide remote sensing technique development. 21 kinds of red tide organisms are cultivated to investigate optical characteristic of them on the level of laboratory, and chlorophyll specific absorption coefficient(a~*) and backscattering coefficient(b_b~*) are estimated by using spectrophotometer. Absorption spectrums according to species are appeared diversely from 0.005 to 0.06 (me/ m~2), and the shapes of spectrums are also different. The range of b_b~* are appeared 10~(-2)～10 mg/ m~2, which have around 100 times differences between species, and the shape of spectrum also have significant difference between species. These results are able to use as an input data of inverse model from ocean color.
