Ocean Optics Summer Class Calibration and validation for ocean color remote sensing 11 - 29 July 2011 at the Darling Marine Center An intensive three-week, cross-disciplinary, graduate-level course in optical oceanography and ocean color remote sensing will be offered at the University of Maine's Darling Marine Center in July 2011. This class is a continuation of the Optical Oceanography course first offered at the Friday Harbor Laboratories in 1985 and more recently at the Darling Marine Center. Past graduates are many of today's leaders in oceanography. The major theme of this year's course is vicarious calibration of satellite-based ocean color radiometers using Earth-based measurements and the use of in-situ optical sensors for validation of products derived from ocean color remote sensing. The course will provide students with a fundamental knowledge of ocean optics and optical sensor technology that will enable them to make quality measurements, be able to a...
