The Campaign
The Korea-United States Ocean Color Study (KORUS-OC) was a joint effort between NASA and the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST) to study phytoplankton and its effects on atmospheric and ocean processes. KORUS-OC consisted of one deployment during the boreal spring of 2016 across the surrounding waters of South Korea. Two research vessels were utilized to collect measurements of phytoplankton, atmospheric composition, and other ocean parameters. NASA’s B-200 was also equipped with the Geostationary Trace gas and Aerosol Sensor Optimization (GeoTASO) and Multi-slit Optimized Spectrometer (MOS) to collect remotely sensed measurements over the ships. KORUS-OC was funded through NASA's Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry program and was the sister campaign to KORUS-AQ.
