This book was released on 2008-06-05 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proliferation of harmful phytoplankton in marine ecosystems can cause massive fish kills, contaminate seafood with toxins, impact local and regional economies and dramatically affect ecological balance. Real-time observations are essential for effective short-term operational forecasting, but observation and modelling systems are still being developed. This volume provides guidance for developing real-time and near real-time sensing systems for observing and predicting plankton dynamics, including harmful algal blooms, in coastal waters. The underlying theory is explained and current trends in research and monitoring are discussed.Topics covered include: coastal ecosystems and dynamics of harmful algal blooms; theory and practical applications of in situ and remotely sensed optical detection of microalgal distributions and composition; theory and practical applications of in situ biological and chemical sensors for targeted species and toxin detection; integrated observing systems and platforms for detection; diagnostic and predictive modelling of ecosystems and harmful algal blooms, including data assimilation techniques; observational needs for the public and government; and future directions for research and operations.

This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ocean is a fundamental component of the earth's biosphere. It covers roughly 70 percent of Earth's surface and plays a pivotal role in the cycling of life's building blocks, such as nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, and sulfur. The ocean also contributes to regulating the climate system. Most of the primary producers in the ocean comprise of microscopic plants and some bacteria; and these photosynthetic organisms (phytoplankton) form the base of the ocean's food web. Monitoring the health of the ocean and its productivity is critical to understanding and managing the ocean's essential functions and living resources. Because the ocean is so vast and difficult for humans to explore, satellite remote sensing of ocean color is currently the only way to observe and monitor the biological state of the surface ocean globally on time scales of days to decades. Ocean color measurements reveal a wealth of ecologically important characteristics including: chlorophyll concentration, the rate of phytoplankton photosynthesis, sediment transport, dispersion of pollutants, and responses of oceanic biota to long-term climate changes. Continuity of satellite ocean color data and associated climate research products are presently at significant risk for the U.S. ocean color community. Assessing Requirements for Sustained Ocean Color Research and Operations aims to identify the ocean color data needs for a broad range of end users, develop a consensus for the minimum requirements, and outline options to meet these needs on a sustained basis. The report assesses lessons learned in global ocean color remote sensing from the SeaWiFS/MODIS era to guide planning for acquisition of future global ocean color radiance data to support U.S. research and operational needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To all those sailors / Who dreamed before us / Of another way to sail the oceans. The dedication of this Volume is meant to recall, and honour, the bold pioneers of ocean exploration, ancient as well as modern. As a marine scientist, dealing with the oceans through the complex tools, ?lters and mechanisms of contemporary research, I have always wondered what it was like, in centuries past, to look at that vast ho- zon with the naked eye, not knowing what was ahead, and yet to sail on. I have tried to imagine what ancient sailors felt, when “the unknown swirls around and engulfs the mind”, as a forgotten author simply described the brave, perhaps reckless, act of facing such a hostile, menacing and yet fascinating adventure. Innovation has always been the key element, I think, for their success: another way, a better way, a more effective, safer and worthier way was the proper answer to the challenge. The map of our world has been changed time and again, from the geographical as well as the social, economic and scienti?c points of view, by the new discoveries of those sailors. One of the positive qualities of human beings is without doubt the inborn desire to expand their horizons, to see what lies beyond, to learn and understand.
Download or read book Bio optical Modeling and Remote Sensing of Inland Waters written by Deepak R. Mishra and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bio-optical Modeling and Remote Sensing of Inland Waters presents the latest developments, state-of-the-art, and future perspectives of bio-optical modeling for each optically active component of inland waters, providing a broad range of applications of water quality monitoring using remote sensing. Rather than discussing optical radiometry theories, the authors explore the applications of these theories to inland aquatic environments. The book not only covers applications, but also discusses new possibilities, making the bio-optical theories operational, a concept that is of great interest to both government and private sector organizations. In addition, it addresses not only the physical theory that makes bio-optical modeling possible, but also the implementation and applications of bio-optical modeling in inland waters. Early chapters introduce the concepts of bio-optical modeling and the classification of bio-optical models and satellite capabilities both in existence and in development. Later chapters target specific optically active components (OACs) for inland waters and present the current status and future direction of bio-optical modeling for the OACs. Concluding sections provide an overview of a governance strategy for global monitoring of inland waters based on earth observation and bio-optical modeling. - Presents comprehensive chapters that each target a different optically active component of inland waters - Contains contributions from respected and active professionals in the field - Presents applications of bio-optical modeling theories that are applicable to researchers, professionals, and government agencies
Download or read book Phytoplankton Pigments written by Suzanne Roy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 891 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pigments act as tracers to elucidate the fate of phytoplankton in the world's oceans and are often associated with important biogeochemical cycles related to carbon dynamics in the oceans. They are increasingly used in in situ and remote-sensing applications, detecting algal biomass and major taxa through changes in water colour. This book is a follow-up to the 1997 volume Phytoplankton Pigments in Oceanography (UNESCO Press). Since then, there have been many advances concerning phytoplankton pigments. This book includes recent discoveries on several new algal classes particularly for the picoplankton, and on new pigments. It also includes many advances in methodologies, including liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and developments and updates on the mathematical methods used to exploit pigment information and extract the composition of phytoplankton communities. The book is invaluable primarily as a reference for students, researchers and professionals in aquatic science, biogeochemistry and remote sensing.

Download or read book Topics in Oceanography written by Enrico Zambianchi and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2013-07-10 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oceanography is the par excellence interdisciplinary science thanks to its peculiar setting within a fluid environment that makes connections extremely efficient. The oceans connections are well mirrored in the chapters of this book that share a quite explicit multidisciplinary and multi-environmental character. The book provides chapters on very different topics under very different settings, some with a focused angle, others with a broader approach, yet all sharing the idea that we need to understand the small pieces in order to put together the big picture for a much larger mechanism, the functioning of the ocean as a whole.
Download or read book Remote Sensing of Phytoplankton in the Arctic Ocean written by Juan Li and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au cours des dernières décennies, l'augmentation de la production primaire (PP) dans l'océan Arctique (AO) a en partie été associée à une augmentation de la biomasse phytoplanctonique, comme l'ont montré des études de télédétection. La concentration en chlorophylle a (Chl), un indicateur de la biomasse phytoplanctonique, est un facteur clé qui peut biaiser les estimations de la PP quand elle comporte des erreurs de mesure. En d'autres mots, une estimation précise de la Chl est cruciale pour améliorer notre connaissance de l'écosystème marin et de sa réponse au changement climatique en cours. Cependant, la télédétection de la couleur de l'océan dans l'océan Arctique présente plusieurs défis. Tout d'abord, il est bien connu que l'échec des algorithmes standards de la couleur de l'océan dans l'AO est dû à l'interférence des matières colorées et détritiques (CDM) dans le spectre visible, mais comment et dans quelle mesure cela va biaiser l'estimation de la Chl reste inconnu. En outre, la Chl étant un facteur clé utilisé pour estimer la PP, la propagation des erreurs des estimations de la Chl aux estimations de la PP doit être évaluée. Le dernier mais le plus important est qu'un algorithme robuste avec une incertitude raisonnable, en particulier pour les eaux côtières complexes et productives, n'est pas encore disponible. Pour résoudre ces problèmes, dans cette étude, nous avons d'abord compilé une grande base de données bio-optiques in situ dans l'Arctique, à partir de laquelle nous avons évalué de manière approfondie les algorithmes de couleur de l'océan actuellement disponibles du point de vue des impacts des CDM. Nous avons constaté que plus le niveau de CDM par rapport à la Chl dans la colonne d'eau était élevé, plus il biaisait les estimations de la Chl. L'analyse de sensibilité des estimations de la PP sur la Chl a montré que l'erreur des estimations de la Chl était amplifiée de 7% lorsqu'elle était passée dans l'estimation du PP en utilisant un modèle de PP résolu spectralement et verticalement. En outre, pour obtenir de meilleurs résultats, nous avons optimisé un algorithme semi-analytique (Garver-Siegel-Maritorena, GSM) pour l'AO en ajoutant la bande spectrale de 620 nm qui est moins affectée par le CDM et le signal ici est généralement élevé pour les eaux riches en CDM, devenant anisi important pour le GSM afin d'obtenir des estimates précises de la Chl. Notre algorithme ajusté, GSMA, n'a amélioré la précision que de 8% pour l'AO, mais l'amélioration pour les eaux côtières a atteint 93%. Enfin, étant donné que les algorithmes qui n'exploitent pour la plupart que les parties bleue et verte du spectre visible sont problématiques pour les eaux très absorbantes/obscures, nous avons introduit un modèle d'émission de fluorescence pour tenir compte des propriétés bio-optiques du phytoplancton dans la partie rouge du spectre visible. En se couplant avec le GSMA, le nouvel algorithme à spectre complet, FGSM, a encore amélioré la précision des estimations de la Chl de ~44% pour les eaux eutrophes. À l'avenir, des couplages sont nécessaires à des fins de validation en ce qui concerne l'application satellitaire. De plus, de nouvelles approches pouvant être appliquées pour détecter le maximum de chlorophylle sous la surface (SCM), les efflorescences en bordure de glace et/ou sous la glace, les types fonctionnels de phytoplancton (PFT), sont attendues.
