Journal ArticleDOI
Underwater gliders for ocean research
TL;DR: Underwater gliders are autonomous vehicles that profile vertically by buoyancy control and move horizontally on wings as mentioned in this paper, and are among the best approaches to achieving subsurface spatial resolution necessary for ocean research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Closing the microbial loop: dissolved carbon pathway to heterotrophic bacteria from incomplete ingestion, digestion and absorption in animals
TL;DR: In this paper, a new extension of digestion theory and reinterpretation of published empirical evidence suggest that the principal pathway of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from phytoplankton to bacteria is through the byproducts of animal ingestion and digestion rather than via excretion of DOC directly from intact phyto-ankton.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling in situ phytoplankton absorption from total absorption spectra in productive inland marine waters
TL;DR: In this paper, a model was developed to resolve in situ phytoplankton absorption from a measured in situ total absorption spectrum which includes water, dissolved organics, particulate detritus, and phyto-worms, and was tested on a set of absorption spectra obtained from the productive waters around the San Juan Islands, Washington.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eddy-driven stratification initiates North Atlantic spring phytoplankton blooms.
TL;DR: It is shown that the initial stratification and resulting bloom are instead caused by eddy-driven slumping of the basin-scale north-south density gradient, resulting in a patchy bloom beginning 20 to 30 days earlier than would occur by warming.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ phytoplankton absorption, fluorescence emission, and particulate backscattering spectra determined from reflectance
TL;DR: In this article, an inverse model was developed to extract the absortion and scattering properties of oceanic constituents from surface spectral reflectance measurements, in particular, phytoplankton spectral absorption coefficients, solar-stimulated chlorophyll a fluorescence spectra, and particle backscattering spectra were modeled.
