Calibration and Validation for Ocean Color Remote Sensing

Ocean Optics Yahoo! Group
A group comprised of graduates, faculty, and staff of the Ocean Optics classes held at UMaine Darling Marine Center (2001, 2004, 2007...) and U.W. Friday Harbor Labs (1985, 1987, 1989, 1995, 1998). Others in the ocean optics community are encouraged to join in and participate.

HydroLight Yahoo! Group
This forum for users of Curtis Mobley's HydroLight radiative transfer software is used to announce upgrades and bug fixes, post technical notes about HydroLight, share related software developed by HydroLight users, answer FAQs, and otherwise keep the HydroLight users' community informed about the latest HydroLight information.
