IS24B:
Lidar-Based Estimation of the Surface and Vertical Ocean Physical, Optical, and Biogeochemical Properties Posters


Session ID#: 27748

Session Description:
Active remote sensing of global ocean physical, optical and biogeochemical properties presents an unprecedented new opportunity for overcoming some of the major limitations of passive remote sensing that have challenged the community for decades. Undoubtedly, passive ocean color observations have revolutionized our understanding of global plankton ecosystems and have many advantages: multiple wavelength bands, good spatial resolution (300-1000 meters) and on high repetitive cycles (~2 days). However, passive measurements are sensitive to only the very near surface layer, provide no information on vertical structure, suffer sampling limitations due to clouds and absorbing aerosols, provide no measurements at high latitudes during several months of the year, and provide no information on day-night changes in plankton properties. Lidar remote sensing can address some of these challenges and would provide an exceptional complement to passive observations. This session welcomes: examples of current and new active technologies (in-situ, ship-based, airborne, and satellite); applications of lidar techniques to retrieve ocean surface properties and profiles of physical, optical, and biogeochemical parameters; or active applications with synergies to passive remote sensors and/or in-situ measurements from ships or Bio-Argo profilers.
