To address these issues with respect to the multifarious conditions existing in the different
basins of the World Ocean is a highly complicated matter and exceeds the scope of the …

The significance of light backscattering in the ocean is wide ranging, especially in optical
remote sensing. However, the complexity of natural seawater as an optical medium often …

Field measurements and Mie calculations of the particulate light‐scattering coefficient (bp, in
m− 1) in the nearinfrared and visible spectral domains are combined to quantify and model …

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 …

Variations in the spectral scattering coefficient of marine particles [bp (λ)] were measured at
241 locations in oceanic (case 1) and coastal (case 2) waters around Europe. The scattering …

Particulate matter concentration (PM, often referred to as total suspended solids [TSS]) is an
important parameter in the evaluation of water quality. Several optical measurements used …

Light scattering-based methods are used to characterize small particles suspended in water
in a wide range of disciplines ranging from oceanography, through medicine, to industry …

We measured the absorption properties of phytoplankton, nonalgal particles (NAP), and
colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) at about 350 stations in various coastal waters …

The optical properties of mineral particles suspended in seawater were calculated from the
Mie scattering theory for different size distributions and complex refractive indices of the …

Measurements of sub-surface light attenuation (Kd), Secchi depth and suspended
particulate material (SPM) were made at 382 locations in transitional, coastal and offshore …
