Ocean Color Remote Sensing (chlorophyll / CDOM / TSM) L1-110
Unclaimed Principle — open for contribution
This Principle is declared in the catalog but has no reference solver, no pinned dataset, and is not registered on-chain. There is no reward pool. Submitting a cert against this Principle today will record the cert for reproducibility but pay zero PWM.
To claim it as a Bounty #7 contribution: open a PR adding (1) a reference solver, (2) ≥1 dataset pinned to IPFS, (3) updates to the L3 manifest with dataset CIDs. After verifier-agent triple-review, the founders' 3-of-5 multisig signs PWMRegistry.register() and the Principle becomes mineable.
Forward model E
Ocean Color Remote Sensing (chlorophyll / CDOM / TSM): ocean color multispectral produces the measurement through a 4-node primitive DAG L.multispectral_sensor -> L.atmospheric_correction -> L.bio_optical_inversion -> int.spatial, with spatially-projected accumulation and additive Gaussian thermal/electronic noise. Recovery is posed as a non-convex inverse problem that inverts the forward operator to estimate the scene-side ocean iop map. Difficulty tier delta=3 with effective condition number kappa_eff~12; calibration-level mismatch (atmospheric_aerosol, glint, whitecaps) sets the accuracy floor at the Omega boundary. See the forward_model field for the closed-form imaging equation.

Existence of the recovered ocean iop map is guaranteed within the declared Omega bounds. Uniqueness is local rather than global (non-convex landscape); convergence depends on initialisation and priors. Stability is moderately conditioned (kappa_eff ~= 12); atmospheric_aerosol dominates the stability cliff; glint and the remaining mismatch parameters contribute higher-order bias terms. Additive gaussian thermal/electronic noise sets the irreducible data-fidelity floor, while mild Tikhonov or analytic inversion is sufficient at the nominal Omega point.
