Transects will be flown over and beyond the geography of interest to the SEEP-II Program and the FLEX Program 

 in the South Atlantic Bight in conjunction with the deployment and ship schedule for these programs. Active and 

 passive color measurements will be made using a pulsed laser transmitter to stimulate Raman backscatter as well as 

 fluorescence from chlorophyll and phycoerythrin pigments contained in phytoplankton. Fluorescence from dis- 

 solved organic matter will also be determined. These measurements will be correlated with certain shipboard 

 measurements. The data will be used to infer details of phytoplankton distribution that cannot be obtained from 

 shipboard measurements and to improve ocean color algorithms in general.
