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 oceanic processes. KORUS-OC involved one deployment during the boreal spring of 2016 in waters around South Korea. Two research vessels collected data on phytoplankton, atmospheric conditions, and other ocean parameters. NASA’s B-200 aircraft was also equipped with the Geostationary Trace Gas and Aerosol Sensor Optimization (GeoTASO) to gather remote sensing data over the ships. KORUS-OC was funded by NASA's Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry program and served as the sister campaign to KORUS-AQ.
