Global
Project Type: Research

DESCRIPTION: The project will examine time-dependent oceanic radiance distribution in relation to dynamic surface boundary layer processes, construct a radiance-based surface boundary layer model, validate the model with field observations, possibly invert the model to yield surface boundary layer conditions.
