Dynamic Modeling of Marine Bioluminescence and Night Time Leaving Radiance.

摘要

The long-term objective is to contribute to the development of the components of limited area, open boundary, coastal nowcast/forecast systems that will resolve the time and length scales of the relevant physical- biological dynamics in shallow coastal environments. Our objectives are to develop the methodology for bioluminescence potential (BL) and bioluminescence leaving radiance (BLw) predictions on scales to 1-5 days, and to understand the coupled bio-optical and physical processes in the coastal zone that governs the variability and predictability of bioluminescence.
