A rare sunny day in the Arctic: Optical instruments are deployed off NOAA Ship OSCAR DYSON above the Arctic Circle in the Chukchi Sea. WHOI Postdoc Sam Laney and colleagues from the NOAA Auke Bay Labs in Juneau AK are currently conducting the first of two annual mesoscale surveys of ocean optical properties in the Bering and Chukchi Seas. The data collected on these surveys, supported in part by the WHOI Arctic Research Initiative, will help improve the bio-optical algorithms currently used to estimate phytoplankton abundance and ocean productivity from satellite images of ocean color. A sunny day provides a rare opportunity in the Arctic to measure optical properties in situ while sensors on an orbiting satellite image the same location.
