Description:

"The overall aim of the annual NOAA Dedicated Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Ocean Color Calibration/Validation (Cal/Val) Cruises [Ondrusek et al., 2016; Ondrusek et al., 2015] is to support improvements in the extent and accuracy of satellite remotely sensed ocean color parameters in the near surface ocean. The primary objective of these cruises is to collect high quality in situ optical and related biogeochemical data for purpose of validating satellite ocean color radiometry and derived products from VIIRS on SNPP [Wang et al., 2017; Wang et al., 2014; Wang et al., 2013] and the follow-on JPSS missions. The second objective is to quantify the confidence intervals of optical measurement protocols. The third objective is to characterize the optical signatures of a variety of water masses (i.e., coastal, near-shore, cross-shelf, eddies, fronts, filaments, blue water, etc.). The NOAA Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) allocated ship time for the 2016 cruise aboard the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster (NF-16-08) (http://www.moc.noaa.gov/nf/). The original project plan allowed for 14 days at sea, departing 5 October from Charleston, SC. The planned area of operations had been the Western Atlantic along the US Southeastern Coast and into Bahamian waters. These plans were altered in response to the passage of Hurricane Matthew (28 September through 9 October 2016), which passed eastward of Charleston necessitating a delay of several days. Actual executed cruise days were 13 October to 18 October 2016. With the shortened 6 day schedule and rough seas offshore, sampling was mostly confined to near shore waters in the vicinity of Charleston and Savannah except for the last day when seas calmed somewhat and the ship could venture offshore"--Page 1.
