TOMCAT - From Optics To Export (SCOR WG Meeting)


Session ID#: 36395

Session Description:
The rapid advance of in situ devices that image particles in the ocean allows unprecedented insights at high spatial and temporal resolution. Yet, whilst technologies to image particles have advanced greatly during the last two decades, techniques to analyze the often immense data sets have not. This SCOR working group brings together experts in observation, experimentation, theoretical modelling, and data analysis to systematically improve the use of optical instruments to size and otherwise characterize particles, thereby facilitating their use to characterize organism concentrations and distributions, particle flux and export, and the interactions between particles and organisms.
