Ocean processes that can influence rapidly changing ocean color include water-mass movement and bio-optical property changes in the water parcel. Traditionally, diurnal variability of bio-optical properties relies on daily time series at fixed locations by satellite sensors or in situ observations. There is a lack of an effective way to observe diurnal variation of bio-optical properties in a moving water parcel on a large scale. In this paper, we propose a new method to acquire diurnal variation of bio-optical properties in a moving water parcel. The novel approach integrates drifting buoy data and GOCI data. The movement of surface current was tracked by a drifting buoy, and its spatiotemporally matching bio-optical properties were obtained via the GOCI data. The results in the Yellow and East China seas during the summers of 2012 and 2013 show that the variation of time series following the movement of water parcel was obviously different from that obtained at fixed locations. The hourly differences of the former are 15.7% and 16.3% smaller than those of the latter for Chl a and total suspended sediment (TSS), respectively. The value of ag440 was more stable within the moving water parcel than in the fixed location. Our approach provides a simple and feasible way for observing diurnal variability of bio-optical properties in a moving surface water parcel.
