The southward propagation of cold-air frontal boundaries into the Gulf of Mexico region initiates a cascade of coupled air–sea processes that manifests along the coastlines as an apparent brightness anomaly in the ocean color signals. Our hypothesis is that the color anomaly is largely due to the turbulent resuspension of sedimentary particles. Initially, there is significant wind-driven ocean turbulence as the frontal boundar...

Here we present a machine-learning-based method for utilizing traditional ocean-viewing satellites to perform automated atmospheric correction of nanosatellite data. These sensor convolution techniques are required because nanosatellites do not usually possess the wavelength combinations required to atmospherically correct upwelling radiance data for oceanographic applications; however, nanosatellites do provide superior groun...

The identification of species is one of the most basic, and yet critically important, issues in biology with far‐reaching potential implications for fields such as biodiversity conservation, population ecology and epidemiology. Morphology has long been the primary tool biologists have used to categorize life. However, we now know that a significant portion of natural diversity is morphologically hidden, and therefore, we must...
