We investigated the influences of organic content and mineralogical composition on light
absorption by mostly mineral suspended particles in aquatic and coastal marine systems …

From laboratory measurements, we determined the spectral mass‐specific absorption,
ap*(λ), and scattering, bp*(λ, coefficients for terrigenous mineral‐rich particulate …

We examined the light‐absorption properties of various samples of mineral particles
suspended in water, which included pure mineral species (quartz, calcite, illite, kaolinite …

In this study, we used a special measurement geometry with samples placed inside the
integrating sphere to address whether significant absorption by aquatic particles exists in the …

Concentrations of many trace elements in aquatic systems can become enriched due to
anthropogenic as well as natural processes. In order to investigate particle enrichment …

We measured iron concentrations off the Oregon coast in spring (May–June) and summer
(August) of 2001 as part of the Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST) …

In July 2002, a combination of underway mapping and discrete profiles revealed significant
along-shore variability in the concentrations of manganese and iron in the vicinity of …

The NSF-sponsored Coastal Ocean Processes Wind Events and Shelf Transport (WEST)
experiment investigates the interplay between wind-driven transport and shelf productivity; …

Small mineral particles suspended in the sea are excellent at reflecting light and show up
well in visible band satellite images. In order to make quantitative estimates of the particle …

Transmissometers record high-frequency, high-sensitivity measurements of beam
attenuation due to particles (beam c P), enabling determination of POC and SPM …
