Abstract
Disclosed is a method and process for measuring oceanographic parameters that may be used to create estimates of the quantity of carbon dioxide gas that is removed from the atmosphere from an Ocean Iron Enrichment event. This process uses data observations from Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, Satellite observations and/or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to determine metrics that may be used to calculate the total anthropogenic carbon dioxide that is removed from the atmosphere. Therefore, the carbon dioxide removal may be determined without requiring a manned presence in the area of study, providing a significant reduction in cost.
Description
Process and method for remotely measuring and quantifying carbon dioxide sequestration from Ocean Iron Enrichment DESCRIPTION
This invention uses a unique combination of remote sensing tools to obtain the data metrics for calculating total carbon dioxide sequestration without requiring a manned presence in the area of study. Because all data metrics are obtained from remotely operated sensors, the cost of determining total carbon dioxide sequestration is much less than using manned surface vessels, manned submersibles or manned aircraft..
Data requirements for determining carbon dioxide sequestration into the open (pelagic) ocean remotely are as follows;
Data Collection Requirements for this invention:
1. Ocean Surface Measurements:
Chlorophyll concentrations from the surface to the first optical depth and/or Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) concentrations from the surface to the first optical depth.
Data Sources:
i. Satellite Chlorophyll (Chlorophyll - A) concentration data.
ii. Particulate Organic Carbon satellite data products and/or multispectral imagery resolving chlorophyll and/or Particulate Organic Carbon deployed from an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

2. Ocean Subsurface Measurements: (Surface to 200 meters or more):
i. Chlorophyll concentration (Chlorophyll - A) Transmissivity (may be substituted for Chlorophyll concentration) Data Sources:
i. Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) suitably equipped.
i. Chlorophyll concentration (Chlorophyll - A) Transmissivity (may be substituted for Chlorophyll concentration) Data Sources:
i. Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) suitably equipped.
Claims (5)
- Claim 1:
A total carbon sequestration estimate for an ocean carbon sequestration project is made by using remote measurements of chlorophyll using a combination of remote sensing devices like: satellite data, unmanned aerial and/or underwater vehicles. - Claim 2:
Ocean surface Chlorophyll may be remotely sensed and used to provide estimates of carbon sequestration from the ocean surface layer. Chlorophyll readings are obtained from the ocean surface using satellite observations of chl a. Surface carbon sequestration as Particulate Organic Carbon from the ocean surface to the first optical depth can thereby be calculated using a C/Chl (mg/mg) ratio. In the absence of satellite observations, multispectral Chlorophyl observations from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may be substituted. - Claim 3:
Subsurface ocean Chlorophyll may be used to provide estimates of carbon sequestration beneath the sea surface. Subsurface readings of Chlorophyl using an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) from surface to a depth of not less than meters can be used to provide estimates of Particulate Organic Carbon below the first optical depth of satellite or UAV observations. Subsurface carbon sequestration as Particulate Organic Carbon can be calculated using a C/Chl (mg/mg) ratio. - Claim 4:
Of claim 2 and 3, total carbon sequestration is a sum of carbon sequestration from Claim 2 and Claim 3. - Claim 5:
Of claim 3, a transmissometer mounted on an AUV can be used to measure Particulate Organic Carbon directly as an alternative to estimating Particulate Organic Carbon via Chlorophyll, or in combination with measurements of Chlorophyll to determine metrics for Particulate Organic Carbon.
