Coastal Benthic Optical Properties (COBOP): Characteristics and Processes Related to Optical Properties of Benthic Marine Organisms and Substrates
1998
Mazel, Charles H
The long-term goal of this research is to gain an understanding of the nature and significance of fluorescence and reflectance characteristics of benthic marine organisms in general, and coral reef cnidarians in particular. We wish to determine both how biological processes act to determine the optical properties and how optical measurements can be used to provide insight into biological state or process. The objectives for this year's work were to: (1) Evaluate several methods for separating the fluorescence and reflectance components contributing to spectral signatures under daylight illumination; and (2) Locate specimens that contain only one of each of the coral fluorescent pigments and make excitation and emission measurements for use as prototypes for a spectral unmixing algorithm.
