• Development of a bio-optical model for the Barents Sea to quantitatively link glider and satellite observations 

      Kostakis, I.; Röttgers, R.; Orkney, A.; Bouman, H.A.; Porter, M.; Cottier, Finlo Robert; Berge, Jørgen; Mckee, David (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-31)
      A bio-optical model for the Barents Sea is determined from a set of in situ observations of inherent optical properties (IOPs) and associated biogeochemical analyses. The bio-optical model provides a pathway to convert commonly measured parameters from glider-borne sensors (CTD, optical triplet sensor— chlorophyll and CDOM fluorescence, backscattering coefficients) to bulk spectral IOPs ...
    • A Polar Surface Eddy Obscured by Thermal Stratification 

      Porter, Marie; Henley, Sian F.; Orkney, A.; Bouman, H. A.; Hwang, B.; Dumont, E.; Venables, E. J.; Cottier, Finlo Robert (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-12)
      Mesoscale and submesoscale eddies play an important role in the distribution of heat and biogeochemical properties throughout the global oceans. Such eddies are important in the Arctic Ocean, particularly in the frontal regions, but are difficult to detect using traditional satellite‐based methods. Here we use high‐resolution in situ data from an underwater glider to identify a surface eddy that was ...
