Wavelength-Specific Fluorescence Coefficients For Simulating Hyperspectral Reflectance Signatures Of Water, Charles R. Bostater, Jan Rebman Dec 1999

Wavelength-Specific Fluorescence Coefficients For Simulating Hyperspectral Reflectance Signatures Of Water, Charles R. Bostater, Jan Rebman

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

A model1'2 which describes the transfer of irradiant light in water is used to predict the fluorescence response ofthe water surface reflectance under solar induced or an artificial light source such as a laser. Formulations for the estimation of wavelength dependent fluorescent coefficients. The techniques allows the description ofa fluorescence reflectance response in deep and shallow waters with various bottom reflectance signatures such as submerged vegetation, corals and sand. Recent advances in the model are presented for obtaining wavelength dependent fluorescence spectrum responses from the solutions of the two flow equations following the procedures developed by Bostater1'2'3. Synthetic or modeled …


High-Order Derivative Spectroscopy For Selecting Spectral Regions And Channels For Remote Sensing Algorithm Development, Charles R. Bostater Dec 1999

High-Order Derivative Spectroscopy For Selecting Spectral Regions And Channels For Remote Sensing Algorithm Development, Charles R. Bostater

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

A remote sensing reflectance model, which describes the transfer of irradiant light within a plant canopy or water column has previously been used to simulate the nadir viewing reflectance of vegetation canopies and leaves under solar induced or an artificial light ur'2 and the water surface reflectance3' Wavelength dependent features such as canopy reflectance leafabsorption and canopy bottom reflectance as well as water absorption and water bottom reflectance have been used to simulate or generate synthetic canopy and water surface reflectance signatures3' ' This paper describes how derivative spectroscopy can be utilized to invert the synthetic or modeled as well …


Analysis Of The Gal-Chen–Zhang Single-Doppler Velocity Retrieval, Steven Lazarus, Alan Shapiro, Kelvin Droegemeier Jan 1999

Analysis Of The Gal-Chen–Zhang Single-Doppler Velocity Retrieval, Steven Lazarus, Alan Shapiro, Kelvin Droegemeier

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

The authors present herein an analysis of a single-Doppler velocity retrieval (SDVR) technique whereby the unobserved wind components are determined from single-Doppler radar data. The analysis is designed to provide information about the behavior and/or sensitivity of the SDVR scheme as a function of various internal and external parameters as well as about observational errors and weights. Results presented for retrieval of both the mean and local flow indicate that the SDVR breaks down if the reflectivity gradient vanishes or if a reflectivity isoline is locally perpendicular to the radar beam. In the absence of reflectivity or radial velocity errors, …
