1 The role of Optical Water Type classification in the context of GIOP Timothy S. Moore University of New Hampshire, Durham NH Mark D. Dowell Joint Research Centre, Ispra Italy September 25, 2010

2 Rationale There is necessity to describe a considerable amount of variability in Inherent Optical Property (IOP) subcomponent models. This is particularly true, if inversion algorithms are to be applicable at global scale yet remain quantitatively accurate in coastal & shelf seas. This is unlikely to be achieved in the foreseeable future, with a single representation of IOP subcomponents. – BEAM – Case2R, GIOP The proposed approach is an algorithm framework more than a specific algorithm.

3 Practical uses of a classification approach based on Optical Water Types (OWT) Describe variance and co-variance of optically active constituents Parameterizing IOP subcomponent models (or fit coefficients for empirical relationships) Selecting different inversions methods for different optical waters Avenue to spatial uncertainty estimates for remotely-sensed products Value-added products (directing new Cal/Val field work, data collection)

4 Advantages of fuzzy logic defined provinces They allow for spatial and temporal dynamics both seasonal and inter-annual in the optical properties of a given region. They address the issue of transitions at the boundaries of provinces (through the fuzzy membership function of each class) thus resulting finally in the seamless reconstruction of a single geophysical product. Our OWT method uses a fuzzy logic approach for optical classification of in situ and satellite data based on remote sensing reflectance.

27 Summary There are some inconsistencies in the OWT-based distributions of IOPs between NOMAD and the IOCCG simulated data set. Both data sets are skewed towards coastal/case 2 waters. If a new simulated data set is being considered, the generation of IOPs and IOP pairs could be further constrained by the variance and co-variance as seen in NOMAD within different OWTs. In addition, the representation of data points could be guided by the global distribution of naturally occurring OWTs.

28 Summary (continued) OWT code is currently in Seadas, but has yet to receive the final green light for public usage (we see no problem here). Preliminary OWT-based IOP parameters now exist and can be used in the GIOP framework. Potential for further use in parameterizing empirical models within GIOP is being explored. OWTs themselves may change over time, which could effect some of the OWT-based parameters (don’t think this to be major). Sensitivity and performance analysis remains to be assessed for GIOP- related products.
