Observing the oceans with remote sensing provides synchronic information on the physical dynamics and distributions of marine microbiota. The evolution of this tool appoints for a significant increase in the number of detected spectral channels per sensor, which requires a detailed description and understanding of the optical properties in the water column. This proposal will investigate …
This plan for the use of the Institutional Technical Reserve in 2019 was designed to meet urgent demands from USP's Center for Marine Biology, prioritized by the final number of people who will attend. (AU)
The proposed visit includes a number of research and teaching activities as described in the attached documents. The main research activities are focused in two large scale projects and on bio-optical descriptions of the water column and the development of a new approach to study rocky shores. We anticipate at least three visits of Dr. Lewis for talks in other institutions in São Paulo st…

The assessment of spatial and temporal variations of phytoplankton groups is essential for the comprehension of biogeochemical cycles in the oceans. Although several empirical approaches have been proposed to access information of the phytoplankton community from satellite ocean color data, the role of phytoplankton optical properties (light absorption and backscattering) in determining t…
Primary production estimates in the oceans are usually obtained through conventional methods involving oxygen production or inorganic carbon uptake. However, there are other techniques, such as the direct and less invasive method derived from the chlorophyll-a active fluorescence. The active fluorescence provides estimates of electron transfer rates (ETR) during photosynthesis in the auto…
Phytoplankton biomass in coastal waters is largely controlled by local hydrographic conditions, which alters the light environment and nutritive conditions for phytoplankton growth. Moreover, local hydrodynamics and water masses residence times interfere on the spatial distribution and maintenance of plankton community locally. The São Sebastião channel and the Araçá bay are areas of eco…

This proposal aims to obtain funding for a visit at the Laboratoire d'Océanographie de Villefranche-sur-Mer (LOV) in France, from 2016 Jul 1th to 2017 Feb 28th, under the supervision of Dr. Annick Bricaud. This submission is linked to the ongoing grant FAPESP 2013/16957-2, which purposes to understand how the optical properties (light absorption and scattering) of phytoplankton communitie…
Coastal upwelling produce contrasts in the pelagic environment due to the increase of the primary production, the generation of temperature oscillations and the variation of the patterns of the surface currents with important ecological implications to the coastal benthic communities. This process generates spatio-temporal variations of larval supply, as well as variations of the reproduc…
