Article Title: Blue pigmentation of neustonic copepods benefits exploitation of a prey-rich niche at the air-sea boundary
doi: 10.1038/s41598-018-29869-7
Figure Lengend Snippet: Reflectance spectrum of ocean surface and pontellid copepods. The water-leaving spectral radiance of the ocean surface measured by a hyperspectral visible imaging spectrometer aboard the ship-deployed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, upper picture) flying over the S 3 during the sampling of the pontellid copepods (lower picture). The same hyperspectral visible imaging spectrometer was used in the R/V Falkor’s laboratory to measure the reflectance spectrum of copepod pigments.
Article Snippet: They carried a down-looking Headwall Photonics model Micro-Hyperspec A-Series VNIR hyperspectral visible (400–1000 nm) imaging spectrometer with better than 3 nm spectral resolution for water-leaving spectral radiance measurements to determine ocean color and biogeochemical mapping.
