Abstract
Satellite ocean color has been providing a monitoring capability for bio-optical properties along the coastal line using several ocean color sensors for a number of years. Applications of these data for coastal managers and researchers are limited by coverage and the ability to “forecast” the changing conditions. We examine the capability to couple satellite bio-optical properties with physical forecast circulation models to provide a “real-time” prediction of 24 h bio-optical distribution along coastal regions. A real-time and long term evaluation of the optical forecast is assessed by comparison with the next day imagery. The forecast is based on eulerian advection which does not account for biological and optical degradation and growth processes. However, for near real-time (∼24 h) coastal applications, this assumption appears valid and provides a new capability for planning and coastal management.
