My long-term goal is the development of a data assimilative model system in which optical observations are linked directly and mechanistically to predictions of biological, chemical and physical dynamics of the ocean. The primary objectives are: 1. Continue to develop optical proxies for biological properties and processes in the upper ocean. 2. Establish a framework for modeling the dynamics of optical properties in the ocean, directly and mechanistically. 3. Integrate optical dynamics into state-of-the-art ocean models.
